SOC Design Engineer

Intel, Santa Clara, CA, United States


Job Details
The job develops logic design, RTL coding, and simulation for graphics IPs required to generate cell libraries, functional units, and the GPU IP block for integration in full chip designs. It participates in definition of architecture and microarchitecture features, applies tools and strategies to write RTL and optimize logic to meet power, performance, area, and timing goals, and ensures design integrity for physical implementation. It reviews verification plans, drives unit level verification, and resolves RTL test failures to ensure correctness. It supports SoC customers to ensure high quality integration of the GPU block.

Responsibilities

Design and integrate IP for a discrete graphics SoC.

Assist in architecture, design, implementation, formal verification, emulation, and validation of discrete graphics SoC products.

Create designs that improve product KPIs.

Collaborate with SoC Architecture and platform architecture teams to establish silicon requirements.

Make design trade‑offs balancing risk, area, power, performance, validation complexity, and schedule.

Create microarchitectural specification documents.

Work with external vendors on tools or IPs for micro‑architecture design and qualification.

Drive vendor methodology to meet world‑class silicon design standards.

Architect area‑ and power‑efficient, low‑latency designs with scalability and flexibility.

Provide power and area efficient RTL logic design and DV support.

Run tools to ensure lint‑free and CDC/RDC clean design.

Define synthesis and timing constraints.

The ideal candidate

Ability to drive and improve digital design methodology to achieve high quality first silicon.

Experience working with cross‑functional teams within Intel and external vendors across geographic boundaries.
