Job Details:Job Description: 

About the Role

Join Intel's CPU Design Team within the Silicon & Platform Engineering (SPE) Group, where you will help architect and deliver next-generation, power-efficient, high-performance processors.

As a Senior CPU RTL Design Engineer - Power Management, you will play a critical role in designing and delivering CPU microarchitectures with strong emphasis on power management and energy-efficient design. This role is ideal for engineers who can contribute with minimal ramp-up and bring deep expertise in low-power CPU/SoC design.

You will partner closely with architecture, verification, and physical design teams to deliver industry-leading silicon.

What You'll Do

  • Define, design, and implement CPU microarchitecture features
  • Develop and deliver RTL (SystemVerilog/Verilog) for CPU IP blocks
  • Drive power, performance, and area (PPA) optimization, with a strong focus on:
    • Power-aware RTL design
    • Energy-efficient architectures
  • Design and validate multi-clock domain and CDC solutions
  • Contribute to CPU power management features, including:
    • Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS)
    • Power/thermal management
    • Reset flows and power state transitions (P/C states)
  • Debug complex RTL and collaborate with verification teams
  • Partner with SoC integration teams for full-chip delivery
  • Contribute to design methodology improvements and scalability

Behavioral Traits that we are looking for:

  • Ownership & Accountability - operates independently with minimal guidance
  • Depth over keywords - demonstrates hands-on expertise (not just tool exposure)
  • Problem-solving rigor - able to debug and resolve complex design issues
  • Collaboration mindset - works effectively across cross-functional teams
  • Technical leadership - influences design decisions and drives best practices
  • Bias for action & urgency - maintains strong execution pace in fast-moving environment
Qualifications:

You must possess the below minimum qualifications 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 and Experience:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related filed with 9+ years of relevant experience. Or a Master's degree in the same field with 7+ years of experience.

You experience mentioned above must be in the following:

  • Experience with power management concepts (e.g., DVFS, power states, budgeting)
  • Experience in low-power / power-aware CPU or SoC RTL design
  • RTL development (Verilog/SystemVerilog)
  • Debug and system-level design understanding

Preferred Qualifications and Experience:

  • Experience in multi-clock domain / CDC design
  • Comprehensive knowledge of Intel Architecture ISA and system architecture, including x86 assembly language.
  • Experience with high-speed circuit design and optimization, specifically for datapath, circuits, and arrays.
  • Familiarity with circuit planning and timing convergence processes.
  • Ability to leverage broad understanding of CPU architecture to deliver impactful solutions.
  • Proficient with static timing analysis, UPF and lint checks.
