Intel Logic Design Methodology Engineer 

India, Karnataka, Bengaluru 

563570707

The Client DDRPHY team is looking for an energetic and passionate Logic Methodology Engineer who conceptualizes, documents, and designs tools, flows, and methods (TFM) for use in the logic/RTL design of IPs, SoCs, and the interaction/handoff/reuse between IPs and SoCs. Defines methodologies that produce enhancements in power, performance, and area for designs on the new architectures and process technology nodes and aids high-speed digital design targeted towards low power optimized IP implementations. Analyzes retrospective data on current generation quality and efficiency gaps to identify proper incremental, evolutionary, or transformative changes to the existing logic/RTL related TFM. Works closely with the logic design teams to create and enhance logic design methodologies that enable fast design convergence and facilitate seamless integration. You will be responsible for setting up Automation flows for IP Logic Design, ensuring RTL quality via Front End tools like Lint, CDC, VCLP, Synthesis QA checks etc, creating FE packages for IP milestones that meet SoC Collateral requirements, create innovative automated solutions to help Logic Design in areas like Coverage closure, timing convergence etc. You will also have an opportunity to work on ensuring the RTL quality of IP is high and will contribute to automating various Front End Tool, Flows and Methods. You will be able to utilize your scripting skills to innovate the IP RTL delivery to Validation teams, Backend Teams as well as SoC teams. The ideal candidate should exhibit behavioral traits that indicate: Excellent written and verbal communication skills are critical on a small, fast-moving team. As part of a growing, dynamic new business, the candidate must be successful working with many cross functional teams and manage multiple tasks and changing requirements, in an innovative environment.Objectives of the position

• Own and deliver TFM flows which aid in the logic design of Mixed Signal IP
• Continuously drive the Turnaround time, robustness of Logic design via Architecture engagement and Tools/Methodology improvements
• Drive area/power of IPs and come up with improvements on IP Area/Power metrics
• Critical Decision making on Technical issues.

The successful candidate will possess a BS, MS degree with a 5-10 years of relevant industry experience.

Additional qualifications ideally include:

• Strong scripting skills, experience in working with Front End design tools, Synthesis, Low power design, understanding analog design concerns and driving to an optimal solution between analog and digital designs, familiarity with pre-silicon and post-silicon validation.

Experience in the following areas/ skills are desired:

• Strong communicator
• Self-starter with a penchant for creative problem solving through quick thinking
• Good aptitude for automation
• Git/Perforce/CVS know how
• Perl/Python/TCL
• Spyglass Lint, CDC, DFT, VCLP, Open Latch
• Multiple clock domain design
• Synthesis and speed path debug

Below experience is desirable, but not a must:

• Logic design using System Verilog
• Low-power design using UPF and clock gating
• State machine design
• Simulation and debug experience using VCS/Verdi
