Mixed Signal Logic Design Engineer

Intel Intel · Semiconductors · Oregon, Hillsboro, United States +2

This role focuses on the design of mixed-signal logic for high-speed IP at Intel. Responsibilities include developing architecture and microarchitecture specifications, implementing designs in RTL, behavioral modeling, simulation, debugging, and supporting physical design and validation teams. The role requires experience with digital design concepts, SystemVerilog, computer architecture, and analog/mixed-signal design. Experience with AI tools for productivity is a plus.

What you'd actually do

  1. Develop architecture and microarchitecture specifications for the logic components and contribute to the overall system architecture decisions
  2. Implement specifications/designs in RTL and coordinate the work of other junior designers to deliver high-quality, complex logic blocks
  3. Develop behavioral models that represent analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks using SystemVerilog
  4. Run simulations and debug using logic, mixed-signal validation and AMS simulation tools
  5. Ensure high-quality designs by using industry standard tools such as linting and CDC analysis
