CPU Core Logic Designer

Job Details

Silicon Engineering Group (SiG) plays a critical role in Intel's mission to create world-changing technology. Our engineers work on next-generation processor architectures that define the future of computing, from mobile devices to high-performance computing systems. We're pushing the boundaries of what's possible in silicon design while maintaining Intel's leadership in semiconductor innovation.

We are actively seeking a talented CPU Core Logic Designer to join our dynamic team. This role offers the opportunity to work on cutting‑edge processor designs that will shape the future of computing technology.

• Develops the logic design, register transfer level (RTL) coding, and simulation for a CPU required to generate cell libraries, functional units, and the CPU IP block for integration in full chip designs.
• Participates actively in the definition of architecture and microarchitecture features of the CPU being designed.
• 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.
• Documents micro architectural specs (MAS) of the CPU features being designed. Supports SoC customers to ensure high quality integration of the CPU block.

You must possess the 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. Requirements listed would be obtained through a combination of industry relevant job experience, internship experiences and or schoolwork/classes/research.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or Computer Science or related field and 6+ years of experience – OR – a Master's degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or Computer Science or related field and 4+ years of experience.
• 4+ years combined experience in:
  • System Verilog/Verilog/VHDL and/or VCS or similar Simulator
  • Logic design and/or front end.
  • Computer architecture and microarchitecture.

• 4+ years of experience with:
  • Software/programming languages (i.e. C, C++, C#, Visual Basic/.NET. Perl, Python, Java, etc.).
  • Modern energy‑efficient/low‑power logic design techniques, including those specifically applicable to high frequency optimization.
• Knowledge of Intel Architecture ISA and system architecture, including x86 assembly language.
• Experience with high speed circuit design and optimization for Datapath, circuits and/or arrays.
• Familiarity with circuit planning and timing convergence.
• Experience working with cross functional teams (Architecture, Spec development, Design, Formal, Verification).
