Job Summary

Join Intel’s CPU development team to drive physical design for high-performance processors. You’ll implement custom CPU designs from RTL to GDS, perform timing and power analyses, and collaborate with logic, circuit, and EDA teams to optimize power, frequency, and area across client/server/AI segments.

Location: Austin

Workplace: Onsite

Employment Type: Full time

Job Function: Design (Product/UX/UI/Visual)

Key Responsibilities

•Performs physical design implementation of custom CPU designs from RTL to GDS to create a design database that is ready for manufacturing.
•Conducts all aspects of the CPU physical design flow including synthesis, place and route, clock tree synthesis, floor planning, static timing analysis, power/clock distribution, reliability, and power and noise analysis.
•Conducts verification and signoff including formal equivalence verification, static timing analysis, reliability verification, static and dynamic power integrity, layout verification, electrical rule checking, and structural design checking. Analyzes results and makes recommendations to improve current and future CPU microarchitectures closely collaborating with logic, circuit, architecture, and design automation teams.
•Possesses CPU specific expertise in various aspects of structural and physical design, including physical clock design, timing closure, coverage analysis, multiple power domain analysis, structured placement, routing, synthesis, and DFT.
•Works intimately with industry EDA vendors to build and enhance tool capabilities to design a highspeed, low power synthesizable CPU.
•Optimizes CPU design to improve product level parameters such as power, frequency, and area. Participates in the development and improvement of physical design methodologies and flow automation.
