About The Position

Do Something Wonderful! Intel put Silicon in Silicon Valley. No one else is obsessed with engineering and has a brighter future. Every day, we create world changing technology that enriches the lives of every person on earth. So, if you have a big idea, let's do something wonderful together. Join us, because at Intel, we are building a better tomorrow. Who We Are Do you want to be a part of the one of the most advanced CPU teams in the world, responsible for the development of the 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, Static Analysis, advanced Verification technologies, 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. Who You Are Some of the responsibilities of this role will include but not limited to: Develop and maintain flows, scripts and systems around the RTL design and Verification development cycle like RTL design, Static tools, Low-Power analysis, Coverage. Solve complex inter-domain problems in the environment that straddle CAD vendor tools, automation flows, RTL to Layout design and cloud infrastructure. Continuously innovate to implement state-of-art strategies including ML/AI to improve our automation 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. 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. Exceptional problem-solving skills to be able to debug complex cross-domain problems (RTL, implementation, software tools, IT) being relatively independent. Very good inter-personal skills to work with and influence multiple teams to come up with solutions for deep technical problems. Qualifications: You must possess the minimum education requirements and minimum required qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Additional preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.
