Mixed Signal Logic Design Engineer
Intel CorporationJob Title
Mixed Signal Logic Design Engineer
Role Summary
Design and deliver RTL and microarchitecture for mixed-signal and high-speed IP blocks, focusing on low-power, performance and area optimization. Work within an SoC/IP team and coordinate with architecture, verification and system teams to integrate and qualify IP modules.
This role emphasizes RTL implementation, automation of front-end flows, power/performance analysis, and support for timing and coverage closure.
Experience Level
Mid-level. Typical experience: 4–12 years with a Bachelor's degree or 3–10 years with a Master's degree.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities include design, analysis, automation and cross-team integration for mixed-signal IP logic.
- Define and implement microarchitecture and RTL (SystemVerilog) for mixed-signal and high-speed IP blocks.
- Collaborate with architecture and system teams to optimize power, performance and area.
- Develop and maintain automation flows and perform front-end QA (Lint, CDC, synthesis checks).
- Perform power and performance analysis; drive area and power efficiency improvements.
- Review verification plans, troubleshoot and resolve RTL issues to ensure correctness.
- Support SoC teams for integration and delivery of IP modules.
- Implement automated solutions to streamline coverage closure and timing convergence.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and tools; preferred items listed separately.
- Must-have: RTL development expertise in SystemVerilog.
- Must-have: Low-power design techniques (UPF, clock gating, multiple clock domains).
- Must-have: Experience with front-end design and QA tools such as Spyglass, VC Lint, CDC analysis and synthesis tool flows.
- Must-have: Simulation and debug experience (e.g., VCS, Verdi).
- Must-have: Scripting for automation (Perl, Python, Tcl).
- Must-have: Experience delivering IP for SoC integration.
- Nice-to-have: Familiarity with DFI, DDR or LPDDR protocols and DDR PHY/memory controller design.
- Nice-to-have: Pre-silicon and post-silicon validation experience and basic analog understanding to aid analog/digital integration.
- Nice-to-have: Knowledge of area and power optimization techniques for IP designs.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related technical field. Experience guidance provided in the posting: 4–12 years with a Bachelor's degree or 3–10 years with a Master's degree.
