E-core CPU Design Manager
Intel CorporationJob Title
E-core CPU Design Manager
Role Summary
Manage a team responsible for the physical design and integration of Intel E-core CPU blocks from RTL through tapeout. Lead technical planning, resource allocation, and execution to meet schedules and tapeout milestones.
Work as part of a microprocessor design organization focused on high-performance, low-power E-core CPUs.
Experience Level
Senior - requires at least 10 years of hands-on physical design experience and a minimum of 3 years leading a team as a technical lead or manager.
Responsibilities
Lead and manage engineering activities across the RTL-to-GDS flow and ensure delivery quality and schedule adherence.
- Manage and direct a team of design/integration engineers responsible for RTL-to-GDS activities.
- Plan, allocate resources, assign tasks, and track progress to meet aggressive schedules and milestone criteria.
- Identify and analyze gating issues; implement mitigation plans and provide rapid technical solutions.
- Propose and drive methodology and process improvements to increase efficiency and quality of integration deliverables.
- Provide coaching, feedback, and career development guidance to direct reports.
- Build and maintain a technically strong organization and appropriate team norms and behaviors.
Requirements
Must-have technical and leadership qualifications:
- 10+ years hands-on experience in physical design including synthesis, APR, and post-layout verification of complex blocks.
- 3+ years experience leading engineers as a technical lead or manager.
- Expertise in block floorplanning, RTL-to-gate-level netlist generation, DFT insertion, placement, clock tree synthesis, routing, power and static timing analysis, and timing closure.
- Experience validating physical design: timing, electrical rules, DRC/LVS, noise, electromigration checks, and formal equivalence verification.
- Proven experience leading one or more tape-outs of complex, high-performance, low-power CPUs.
- Familiarity with Synopsys or Cadence build tools and APR flows.
- Strong verbal communication, technical presentation, organizational and leadership skills; self-motivated.
Education Requirements
Minimum of a BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
