Job description

Intel is seeking an experienced engineer to join the PDK Reliability Verification / EMIR team, focusing on the development, qualification, and delivery of production-quality EM/IR reliability collateral and methodologies. The role involves supporting multiple EDA platforms and contributing to advanced process technologies. The engineer will work on various aspects of EMIR, including custom and ASIC verification, and will collaborate with different engineering teams and EDA vendors. This position offers the opportunity to leverage technology to drive significant advancements in the field.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field with 4+ years of experience, or a Master's degree with 3+ years of experience.
  • Strong background in semiconductor design, EDA, physical design, PDK, or reliability verification.
  • Experience in Electro Migration/IR or reliability verification, parasitic extraction, SPICE/post-layout simulation, PDK/technology-file development, physical verification, and EDA tool qualification.
  • Strong scripting and automation skills, preferably in Python, Tcl, Perl, Skill, or equivalent.
  • Strong debugging skills with the ability to isolate problems across technology collateral, extraction, simulation, and analysis.
  • Ability to work effectively across multiple engineering organizations and with EDA vendors.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, qualify, and maintain PDK EMIR collateral, documentation, and technology-specific configurations.
  • Own or contribute to PDK and Reliability Technology Kit (RTK) development, qualification, QA, and release readiness.
  • Develop and maintain test structures and automated validation for EM/IR collateral, including validation and cross-tool correlation.
  • Enable new process features and advanced interconnect structures across current and future process technologies.
  • Debug complex modeling and correlation issues involving extraction, EM/IR analysis, PDK collateral, and EDA tools.
  • Perform cross-tool/vendor correlation across supported EMIR platforms and drive issues to closure with EDA vendors.
  • Support adoption and qualification of next-generation solutions such as Totem-SC and emerging EMIR/extraction capabilities.
  • Improve development and QA efficiency through automation, data analysis, regression infrastructure, and AI-assisted development.
  • Partner with Synopsys, Cadence, and internal engineering teams to resolve tool limitations and ensure production readiness.

Benefits

  • Intel offers a comprehensive benefits package including competitive pay, stock programs, healthcare coverage, retirement plans, paid time off, parental leave, and programs supporting employee wellbeing and professional development.
