About the role
As a Platform Integration Engineer at Intel within the Central Engineering Group, you will develop IP blocks and subsystems for integration into full chip designs.
What you'll do
- Develop logic designs, register transfer level (RTL) coding, and simulation for IP blocks and subsystems for integration into full chip designs. - Define architecture and microarchitecture features and ensure their implementation in the design. - Optimize design logic to meet power, performance, area, and timing goals while maintaining physical implementation integrity. - Review verification plans and address RTL test failures to ensure accurate validation of design features. - Collaborate with physical design teams to address floorplan limitations and integrate designs seamlessly. - Drive quality assurance compliance to enable smooth IP-to-SoC handoff.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related STEM field with 6+ years of experience with RTL design and SystemVerilog, or Master's degree with 4+ years of experience with RTL design and SystemVerilog. - Experience with industry-standard tools for front-end design, including synthesis, static timing analysis (STA), and lint checks. - Experience with AMBA protocols and coherent protocols such as IDI or CHI. - Knowledge of hardware design concepts such as logic design, state machines, and network-on-chip architectures.
Nice to have
- Experience with high-speed interconnect designs and power-performance optimization. - Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Perl, or Tcl for scripting automation.
