Mixed Signal Logic Design Engineer

Intel Intel · Semiconductors · Bangalore, India

Seeking a Mixed Signal Logic Design Engineer to work on high-speed digital design for low power optimized IP implementations for cutting-edge DDRPHY IPs. Responsibilities include definition, design, verification, RTL implementation, automation flows, quality checks, and creating FE packages. The role requires expertise in mixed signal fundamentals, low-power design, and digital/analog design principles. Experience with hardware simulation tools, Front End design tools, and DDR protocols is essential. Familiarity with AI tools like VSCode GitHub CoPilot is a plus.

What you'd actually do

  1. Overseeing definition, design, verification and your responsibilities will include but are not limited to - defining architecture and microarchitecture features of the block being designed, implementing RTL in System Verilog, setting up Automation flows for IP Logic Design, ensuring RTL quality via Front End tools for Lint, CDC, RDC, Voltage domain crossings, Synthesis QA checks etc, creating FE packages for IP milestones that meet SoC Collateral requirements, create innovative automated solutions to help Logic Design in areas like Coverage closure, timing convergence etc.
  2. Contribute to automating various Front End Tool, Flows and Methodologies and innovating the IP RTL delivery to Validation teams, Backend Teams as well as SoC teams.
  3. Own and deliver the logic design of Mixed Signal IPs.
  4. Continuously drive improvement in the Turnaround time, robustness of Logic design via Architecture engagement and Tools/Methodology improvements.
  5. Drive area/power of IPs and come up with improvements on IP Area/Power metrics.
