CPU CAD Design Automation Engineer

Overview

Do you want to be a part of one of the most advanced CPU teams in the world, responsible for the development of low power, high performance microprocessors at Intel?
In this visible, multi-functional role, you will be an integral member of a high-functioning and diverse Front End CAD team that defines, develops, tests and supports RTL and Verification CAD tool flows such as RTL simulation, emulation, CI/CD. This multi-disciplinary team consistently pushes the edge of technology and adopts best-in-class automation practices to allow for smooth RTL, Verification and backend development of our complex microprocessors.

If you are someone with great software skills and exemplary engineering curiosity, this is your opportunity to apply those skills in aiding the development of microprocessor designs that are an essential part of the current and future Intel microprocessors.

• Develop and maintain flows, scripts and systems around the RTL to layout design and Verification development work cycle like RTL simulators, Low-Power checkers, Coverage, Synthesis, Place and Route, Timing Analysis, etc.
• Solve complex inter-domain problems in the environment that straddle CAD vendor tools, automation flows, RTL to Layout design and cloud infrastructure.
• Work with the Intel cloud team for most efficient compute scaling and utilization for the billions of simulation cycles being run.
• Using big-data and analytics platforms like Splunk to provide relevant data and visualizations for design environment efficiency.
• Continuously innovate to implement state-of-art strategies including ML/AI to improve our automation infrastructure.
• Define methodologies and architect flow solutions tied to internal and vendor based RTL/Verification CAD tools.
• Act as focal point between design and tool vendors for issues and feature enhancements.
• Very good inter-personal skills to work with and influence multiple teams to come up with solutions for deep technical problems.
• Exposure to Linux including shell scripting (e.g. csh, bash).
• Exceptional problem solving skills to be able to debug complex cross-domain problems (RTL, implementation, software tools, IT) being relatively independent.

Minimum Qualification

• Bachelor's +10 years experience or Master's degree +5 years experience in relevant fields of engineering.
• 5+ years experience in programming/scripting skills in Perl or Python or C/C++

Preferred Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience with one of the following:
  Hardware description languages (Verilog, System Verilog) and RTL/Validation tools (VCS, Questasim etc) (or) Software engineering, Dev-Ops, machine-learning, Design implementation methodologies and tools such as Fusion Compiler, Innovus, Primetime, Primepower, ICV and more.
• Knowledge of VLSI physical and logical design as well as VLSI Design Automation tools.
