Senior Physical Design Engineer for Core Ip

Intel Intel · Semiconductors · Oregon, Hillsboro, United States

Senior Physical Design Engineer for CPU Core IP at Intel, focusing on synthesis, place and route, and design closure for high-speed processors. Requires extensive experience in integrated circuit design tools and methodologies.

What you'd actually do

  1. Synthesis and Place and Route using industry standard tools for high speed CPU core design
  2. Perform all aspects of design flow from logic synthesis, place and route, FEV, power, timing, quality checks, and design closure
  3. Develop strategies to deliver reproducible design convergence results
  4. Help to create and refine synthesis flow for the project team, Develop and recommend better design method practices to enable better synthesis convergence
