Job description

Job Details:Job Description: 

About the RoleIntel'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.

Position OverviewYou will develop logic design, register transfer level (RTL) coding, and simulation for SoC designs while integrating IP blocks and subsystems into full chip SoC or discrete component designs. You'll participate in defining architecture and microarchitecture features of the blocks being designed and perform quality checks across various logic design aspects ranging from RTL to timing/power convergence.

You will apply various strategies, tools, and methods to write RTL and optimize logic to meet power, performance, area, and timing goals while ensuring design integrity for physical implementation. Working closely with verification teams, you'll review verification plans and implementation to ensure design features are verified correctly, resolving and implementing corrective measures for failing RTL tests.

Additionally, you'll follow secure development practices to address security threat models and security objectives within the design, work with IP providers to integrate and validate IPs at the SoC level, and drive quality assurance compliance for smooth IP/SoC handoff.

Key Responsibilities Lead evaluation of architectural trade-offs considering features, performance targets, power constraints, and system limitations

Define and document micro-architecture for complex SoC IP blocks; implement RTL in Verilog/SystemVerilog, integrate at top level, and deliver fully verified, synthesis- and timing-clean designs

Collaborate closely with verification teams to ensure comprehensive coverage and robust validation of all design aspects

Develop and maintain timing constraints for IP blocks; provide guidance and support to physical design teams for synthesis, timing closure, and formal equivalence checks

Drive silicon bring-up and post-silicon validation, including debug and performance analysis

Mentor junior engineers and contribute to best practices for design methodology and quality

You should possess the following professional traits:

Ability to thrive in a dynamic environment with evolving requirements

Strong communication skills, collaborative mindset, and leadership qualities

Passion for innovation, continuous learning, and tackling technical challenges

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 or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science

7+ years of experience in RTL design and implementation for ASIC/SoC development

Preferred Qualifications Proven ability to solve complex design challenges such as clock domain crossings, power optimization, and timing closure

Hands-on experience with SoC system integration and multicore CPU subsystem design

Strong knowledge of standard bus protocols (AXI, AHB, etc.) and embedded processor architectures

Expertise in high-speed and low-power design techniques

Proficiency in scripting (Python, TCL, etc.) for automation and design flow optimization

Familiarity with industry standard EDA tools, including simulators (VCS, Questa, Xcelium), lint tools (Spyglass), and FPGA prototyping tools (Xilinx Vivado, Altera Quartus II)
