About the role
Intel's CPU Circuit Technology team is seeking a Memory Circuit Design Engineer to drive the design and development of memory circuits for CPU and SoC products. In this role, you will develop full-custom and compiler-based SRAMs, caches, multi-ported register files, ROMs, custom memories, and associated digital circuits.
What you'll do
- Execute technical readiness, memory circuit design, characterization, and simulations.
- Conduct cache design, critical path simulations, and custom block design.
- Perform memory path-finding activities and power, performance, and area (PPA) optimization.
- Implement memory bit-cell and complex periphery IC design and automation.
- Drive memory array/IP design, circuit innovation, and methodology definition tasks while executing to project schedules.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or STEM field with 6+ years of experience, a Master's degree with 4+ years of experience, or a PhD with 2+ years of educational or work experience.
- Proficiency in CMOS circuit design, memory design, and circuit trade-offs for power, performance, and area.
- Expertise in Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) circuits and design methodologies.
Nice to have
- Experience in low-power implementation techniques.
- Familiarity with circuit and layout trade-offs for optimized design.
- Knowledge of industry standard digital circuit design tools, flows, and methodologies.
- Experience with dynamic simulations, variation analysis, and signal integrity analysis.
