Intel is seeking a highly skilled and motivated CPU Logic Design Engineer to join our innovative team. As a CPU Logic Design Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in designing and developing the logic architecture for CPUs that serve as the backbone of our cutting‑edge technologies. Your contributions will directly impact Intel's ability to deliver high-performance, power-efficient processors that drive the future of computing.

This is an opportunity to shape the design of CPUs by employing advanced strategies and ensuring robust integration in system‑on‑chip (SoC) designs. Join us in transforming the world through technology while honing your expertise in logic design and microarchitecture development.

• Develop the logic design and register transfer level (RTL) coding for CPU features.
• Perform simulation and implement strategies to meet power, performance, area, and timing goals, ensuring design integrity.
• Collaborate on defining architecture and microarchitecture features of the CPU being designed.
• Optimize and debug logic designs using advanced tools and methods.
• Review and contribute to verification plans to ensure correctness of CPU design features.
• Resolve failing RTL tests by implementing corrective measures, ensuring feature correctness and functionality.
• Document micro architectural specifications (MAS) for CPU features.
• Support SoC customers to ensure high-quality integration of CPU blocks in chip designs.
• Someone who can understand how to achieve results in complex multi-site team environment.

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. Experience listed below would be obtained through a combination of your degree, research and or relevant previous job and or internship experiences.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 6+ years of experience with a Bachelor's degree, 4+ years with a Master's degree, or 2+ years with a PhD in CPU logic design, RTL coding, or microarchitecture development.
• Logic design and RTL coding techniques. Expertise in power and performance analysis and optimization.
• Microarchitecture fundamentals and low‑power design methodologies.
• Experience with debugging and resolving RTL implementation issues.

• Strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively within cross‑functional teams.
• Proven ability to deliver high-quality designs under tight deadlines and dynamic project environments.
• Enthusiasm for innovation and staying ahead of industry trends in CPU design.
• Strong knowledge of CPU architecture (concepts such as caching, pipelining, paging, virtual memory, memory tagging and management) and micro‑architecture and RTL environment is essential.
• Demonstrated expertise in understanding the design of complex Intel Architecture CPU, developing and debugging of functional tests in Assembly language in pre‑silicon simulation environment are required skills.
