Intel CorporationJob Title
STA (Static Timing Analysis) Design Intern
Role Summary
Work with the Static Timing Analysis team to evaluate timing margins of ASIC/SoC digital designs and help ensure chips meet target performance with no timing errors. The role supports timing analysis runs, constraint management, timing fixes and automation to improve flow efficiency.
Experience Level
Entry-level internship for current undergraduate students (third-year or final-year). Requires commitment to an internship program and on-site attendance as noted below.
Responsibilities
Perform STA tasks and assist engineers across the design flow.
- Execute and monitor static timing analysis runs; analyze slack and timing reports.
- Identify and implement timing fixes for setup and hold violations.
- Assist in creating, updating and debugging timing constraints and exceptions.
- Develop scripts to automate and accelerate STA workflows.
- Collaborate with senior engineers, participate in reviews and document findings.
Requirements
Minimum required skills and commitments for the internship.
- Available to work on-site approximately 4 days per week (hybrid model eligibility noted).
- Available to commit to at least a 6-month internship term.
- Strong foundational knowledge of digital logic, flip-flops, clock domains and CMOS circuit concepts.
