CPU Power Delivery Engineer
Intel CorporationJob Title
CPU Power Delivery Engineer
Role Summary
As a CPU Power Delivery Engineer on Intel's CPU design team, you will lead power-delivery analysis and implementation to ensure IR drop, electromigration, and overall power integrity across CPU operating modes and conditions. You will work with physical design, package, RTL, and technology teams to reduce risk and support successful silicon delivery.
Position follows a hybrid work model based in Bangalore.
Experience Level
Mid-level - typically 3+ years (Bachelor's) or 2+ years (Master's) experience in CPU or high-performance IP power delivery, power integrity, or related physical design roles.
Responsibilities
Deliver power-delivery and power-integrity analysis through implementation and signoff; drive mitigation and readiness for tapeout.
- Own CPU power delivery and power-integrity analysis across implementation and signoff, including static and dynamic IR drop and electromigration.
- Develop and execute power-grid strategies, power planning, decap strategy, and optimization to meet performance, power, and reliability targets.
- Debug and resolve complex power-delivery issues in partnership with physical design, package, clock, and RTL teams.
- Review and guide floorplan, bump/strap placement, decap, and grid decisions to improve top-level CPU power robustness.
- Track power-integrity risks, drive mitigation plans, and support signoff readiness for successful tapeout.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience; preferred items noted where applicable.
- Hands-on experience in CPU or high-performance IP power delivery, power integrity, or physical design.
- Solid understanding of IR drop, electromigration, decap strategy, power-grid design, and signoff methodology.
- Experience with industry-standard power-integrity and physical-design tools such as RedHawk, PrimePower, Kelvin, or equivalents.
- Proficiency in Tcl and at least one scripting language (Python or Perl).
- Strong debugging, problem-solving, and cross-functional communication skills.
- Preferred: experience automating workflows with scripting and working in distributed, interdisciplinary teams.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field with 3+ years of relevant hands-on experience, OR Master's degree in a relevant field with 2+ years of relevant hands-on experience.
