Mixed Signal Logic Design Engineer

Intel Intel · Semiconductors · California, Folsom, United States +2

Develops logic design, RTL coding, and simulation for mixed signal and/or highspeed IPs for integration in full chip designs. Participates in architecture and microarchitecture definition, applies strategies for mixed signal designs, writes RTL, and optimizes logic to meet power, performance, area, and timing goals. Reviews verification plans, resolves failing RTL tests, and supports SoC customers for IP block integration.

What you'd actually do

  1. Develops the logic design, register transfer level (RTL) coding, and simulation for mixed signal and/or highspeed IPs required to generate cell libraries, functional units, IP blocks, and subsystems for integration in full chip designs.
  2. Participates in the definition of architecture and microarchitecture features of the block being designed.
  3. Applies various strategies, tools, and methods for mixed signal designs including analog behavior modeling and circuit simulation to write RTL and optimize mixed signal logic to qualify the design to meet power, performance, area, and timing goals as well as design integrity for physical implementation.
  4. Reviews the verification plan and implementation to ensure design features are verified correctly and resolves and implements corrective measures for failing RTL tests to ensure correctness of features.
  5. Supports SoC customers to ensure high quality integration of the IP block.
