Intel CPU Circuit Design Engineer 

United States, Texas, Austin 

949525742

The Atom CPU Circuit Technology team is looking for a highly motivated and technically savvy experienced individual to join our team as Digital Circuit Design Engineer. Our team is responsible for developing full-custom as well as compiler based Large Signal Arrays (custom multi-ported register file), ROMs, SRAMs, power delivery and standard cell characterization for Atom CPU Hard IP and its derivatives. We are also involved in defining the PV methodology, post-silicon speed-path analysis, bin-split & PnP projections for Atom CPUs.

This will be a fast-paced dynamic environment where you will work in the high performance, low power CPU design group on a wide spectrum of circuit activities ranging from technical readiness, device and/or cell characterization, bit-cell simulations, critical path simulations and design custom blocks to meet stringentconstraints. You will be involved in methodology definition tasks as well as executing to project schedules.

You will be responsible for, but not limited to:

• Designs, develops, and builds custom digital circuits for a CPU, including memory and caches.

• Designs floorplans, performs circuit design, schematic entry, simulation for CPU blocks, and verifies functionality to optimize custom circuit for CPU power, performance, area, timing, and yield goals.

• Creates block level DFT models, develops memory test tools, and improves and automates flows and methodologies to ensure streamlining of design. Collaborates cross functionally to report design progress and to collect, track, and resolve any performance and CPU design issues.

• Optimizes performance, power, and area, reduce leakage of CPU circuits, and drives characterization of individual memory instances and memory compilers.

• Works with CPU architecture and layout teams to design circuit for best functionality, robustness, and electrical capabilities.

Behavioral traits for this position would include:

• ​Logical thinking.

• Is willing to prioritize work, and multi-tasking.

• Good analytical and problem-solving skills.

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. Requirements listed would be obtained through a combination of industry relevant job experience, internship experiences and or schoolwork/classes/research. This is an entry role and will be compensated accordingly.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and/or ComputerEngineering with6+ months of experience and knowledge listed below or MS inElectrical Engineering and/or Computer Engineering.

• 3+ months of experience and knowledge in Custom circuit design , including basic memory design knowledge.

• 3+ months of fundamental knowledge of transistor level behavior and device characteristics.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Register-file and SRAM memory design experience.

• Experience with critical path analysis and running simulations (including vmin).

• Scripting knowledge.

We offer a total compensation package that ranks among the best in the industry. It consists of competitive pay, stock, bonuses, as well as, benefit programs which include health, retirement, and vacation. Find more information about all of our Amazing Benefits
