Job Description:

About the Role

The Unified Intel Chassis (UIC) team develops scalable chassis architectures and Network-on-Chip technologies that power multiple SoCs inside Intel. We create high-performance, reusable IP components that enable product teams to deliver industry-leading performance while optimizing power and area efficiency.

We are seeking an experienced SoC Integration Engineer to join our world-class team to work on cutting-edge technology that impacts millions of devices globally.

In this role, you will work on integration and development of high-performance Network-on-Chip (NoC) platform solutions, working closely with SoC architecture, IP, and physical design teams to deliver optimized silicon platforms.

What You'll Do

Key responsibilities will include but not limited to:

* Partner with SoC architecture teams to define and refine system-level chassis and interconnect requirements

* Design and integrate high-performance NoC / interconnect fabrics meeting power, performance, and area (PPA) targets

* Drive integration of IP blocks into SoC platforms, ensuring scalability and performance across products

* Collaborate with fabric IP development teams to enhance or customize reusable components

* Analyze trade-offs across performance, power, and area to influence architectural decisions

* Work closely with physical design teams to address floor planning and implementation constraints

* Support debug, validation, and bring-up activities for integrated SoC platforms

* Collaborate across global, cross-functional teams to deliver complex silicon solutions

Behavioral traits that we are looking for:

* Systems Thinking:
Ability to understand and optimize complex SoC ecosystems end-to-end

* Ownership & Accountability:
Drives deliverables independently while owning outcomes

* Collaboration & Influence:
Builds strong partnerships across architecture, design, and global teams across multiple time zones

* Technical Leadership:
Mentors junior engineers and contributes to technical direction

* Problem Solving:
