Sr. Logic Design Engineer
Role Summary
Senior logic design engineer on Intel's HIPD team responsible for UCIE PHY IP used in datacenter/server products. The role focuses on RTL/logic design, microarchitecture participation, RTL verification support, and optimization for power, performance, area, and timing to prepare blocks for physical implementation.
Experience Level
Senior — typical qualification: Bachelor's degree +4 years relevant experience, Master's degree +2 years, or PhD +1 year of relevant experience.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include design, verification support, and quality assurance of logic IP blocks.
- Develop logic design, write RTL (SystemVerilog) and create simulations for IP blocks.
- Contribute to architecture and microarchitecture decisions for assigned blocks.
- Perform quality checks across RTL, timing, and power convergence stages.
- Optimize RTL for power, performance, area, and timing; ensure design integrity for physical implementation.
- Review verification plans and work with verification teams to resolve failing RTL tests and ensure feature correctness.
- Collaborate across teams and geographies to integrate IP into larger systems.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience. Education-related requirements are summarized under Education Requirements below.
- RTL/logic design using SystemVerilog.
- Design experience with datapath, power-management flows, arbitration logic, state machines, and clock-domain crossing.
- Knowledge of UPF for power intent.
- Experience with front-end tools for lint and synthesis.
- Experience with hardware simulation tools and methodologies (e.g., VCS, Verdi).
- Familiarity with IP environments and configuration/version-control tools.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills; able to work across multiple organizations.
Nice-to-have
- Experience with UCIE PHY design and mixed-signal environments.
- Experience handling voltage-domain crossings and complex cross-domain interactions.
Education Requirements
