Intel CorporationJob Title
E-core CPU Full Chip Physical Design Engineer
Role Summary
Responsible for full-chip physical design, integration and verification of an Intel CPU. The role focuses on floorplanning, partition assembly, timing closure and verification while coordinating with clocking, power delivery, partition synthesis/APR and other back-end functions.
Experience Level
Senior - minimum 7 years of relevant industry experience.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include physical implementation and methodology improvements for full-chip assemblies.
- Perform floorplanning, pin and feedthrough planning, repeater insertion, power grid generation and assembly of partitions for full-chip designs.
- Drive improvements to full-chip methodology to improve utilization, QoR, runtime and timing.
- Coordinate collateral handoffs between full-chip design and Clocking, Power Delivery, and Partition synthesis/APR teams.
- Lead physical design and timing closure activities including FEV, LVS, DRC and reliability verification (IR drop / EM analysis).
- Use and evaluate EDA tools and scripts to automate flows and improve efficiency.
- Communicate status and technical issues effectively across multiple functional teams.
Requirements
Key technical requirements (must-have listed first). Preferred technologies listed separately.
- Minimum 7 years of experience in CPU physical design and timing verification.
- Experience with synthesis/APR flows on multi-voltage, high-frequency designs, including custom polygon editing.
- Proficiency with Tcl scripting and flow automation.
- Experience in noise, cross-talk and OCV analysis.
- Hands-on experience with floorplanning and driving physical timing closure.
- Experience with formal equivalence checking, DRC/LVS, IR analysis and electro-migration checks.
Preferred:
- Experience with Fusion Compiler, RedHawk, ICV, Conformal, Calibre, PrimeTime and StarRCXT.
Education Requirements
Must have either a BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
