CPU Circuit Design Engineer

Intel Corporation•Austin, TX

2d•Onsite

About The Position

Our team plays a key role in making all the Intel Products successful. We provide high speed custom circuit & memory compiler designs for Intel Cores on Client, Server and Networking products. Your role includes but not limited to: Designs, develops, and builds custom digital circuits for a CPU, including memory and caches. Designs floorplans, performs circuit design, schematic entry, simulation for CPU blocks, and verifies functionality to optimize custom circuit for CPU power, performance, area, timing, and yield goals. Creates block level DFT models, develops memory test tools, and improves and automates flows and methodologies to ensure streamlining of design. Collaborates cross functionally to report design progress and to collect, track, and resolve any performance and CPU design issues. Optimizes performance, power, and area, reduce leakage of CPU circuits, and drives characterization of individual memory instances and memory compilers. Works with CPU architecture and layout teams to design circuit for best functionality, robustness, and electrical capabilities.

Requirements
