Job Description:

Intel's AI SoC organization develops cutting-edge products powering a wide range of AI applications, from edge devices to data center accelerators. If you are an engineer with strong technical and communication skills who thrives in a fast-paced environment with abundant learning opportunities, you are the ideal candidate for this role. Join us to shape the future of AI hardware Develops the logic design, register transfer level (RTL) coding, and simulation for an SoC design and integrates logic of IP blocks and subsystems into a full chip SoC or discrete component design. Participates in the definition of architecture and microarchitecture features of the block being designed. Performs quality checks in various logic design aspects ranging from RTL to timing/power convergence. Applies various strategies, tools, and methods to write RTL and optimize logic to qualify the design to meet power, performance, area, and timing goals as well as design integrity for physical implementation. Reviews the verification plan and implementation to ensure design features are verified correctly and resolves and implements corrective measures for failing RTL tests to ensure correctness of features. Follows secure development practices to address the security threat model and security objects within the design. Works with IP providers to integrate and validate IPs at the SoC level. Drives quality assurance compliance for smooth IPSoC handoff. Responsibilities • Contribute to evaluation of architectural trade-offs considering features, performance, and system constraints. • Implement RTL in Verilog/SystemVerilog based on defined micro-architecture; integrate IP blocks at top level and ensure synthesis- and timing-clean design. • Work closely with verification teams to achieve full coverage and robust validation. • Develop timing constraints for IP blocks and assist physical design teams with synthesis, timing closure, and formal equivalence checks. • Support silicon bring-up and post-silicon validation activities, including debug and performance analysis. • Collaborate with senior engineers to adopt best practices and improve design methodologies.

Qualifications:

Minimum qualifications are required to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.

Minimum Qualifications • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science

3+ years of experience in/with:

• RTL design and implementation for ASIC/SoC development

• Proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog for RTL coding and design

• Experience with synthesis tools and timing closure methodologies

Preferred Qualifications

• Understanding of clock domain crossings, power optimization, and timing closure

• Exposure to SoC system integration and CPU subsystem design

• Familiarity with standard bus protocols (AXI, AHB, etc.) and embedded processor architectures

• Knowledge of high-speed and low-power design techniques

• Experience with static timing analysis (STA) tools and methodologies

• Hands-on experience with formal verification tools and techniques

• Basic scripting skills (Python, TCL, etc.) for automation

• Experience with EDA tools: HDL simulators (VCS, Questa, IES), lint tools (Spyglass), and FPGA prototyping tools
