SoC Logic Design Engineer
Intel CorporationJob Title
SoC Logic Design Engineer
Role Summary
Join the SoC Logic Design Engineering team within Intel's Xeon Engineering Group to design and integrate SoC components and IP for next-generation Xeon server products. You will implement RTL, integrate IP blocks, and work with validation, physical design, and architecture teams to meet performance, power, and timing goals.
This role supports a hybrid work model and contributes to server SoC development for enterprise computing.
Experience Level
Entry-level — 0–1 years of hands-on experience (college graduate / early career).
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include RTL development, integration, verification support, and cross-team collaboration.
- Develop and optimize RTL designs for SoC components using SystemVerilog.
- Integrate IP blocks and subsystems into full-chip SoCs, ensuring architectural accuracy and smooth handoffs.
- Perform quality checks to meet timing, power, performance, and area targets.
- Resolve RTL test failures and implement corrective fixes to ensure feature correctness.
- Collaborate with validation teams to identify and debug issues in SoC RTL and tiles.
- Coordinate with physical design and architecture teams to align design and implementation objectives.
- Apply secure development practices to mitigate security threats in the design.
- Use scripting and automation to improve design workflows and efficiency.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience for immediate contribution.
- Proficiency in SystemVerilog for RTL design and logic development.
- Hands-on experience or exposure to SoC RTL design, integration, or validation (0–1 years acceptable).
- Experience with Synopsys tools (examples: VCS/ModelSim, Design Compiler, Spyglass, linting tools).
- Familiarity with scripting languages such as Perl, Tcl, Python, or C++ for automation and tooling.
Nice-to-have:
- Coursework or academic projects in IC/SoC design and integration.
- Knowledge of low-power design techniques and clock domain crossing.
- Strong problem-solving and ability to work across diverse teams.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science (with 0–1 years of hands-on SoC logic experience via internships, projects, or coursework) OR Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science with no prior professional experience. Academic coursework and projects in IC/SoC design are explicitly referenced as relevant. Equivalent practical experience is considered where noted.
