Job Description:
At the Data Center Group (DCG), we're committed to delivering exceptional products and delighting our customers.
The Physical Design Integration Engineer performs physical design implementation of custom CPU designs from RTL to GDS to create a design database that is ready for manufacturing.
Conducts all aspects of the CPU physical design flow including synthesis, place and route, clock tree synthesis, floor planning, static timing analysis, power/clock distribution, reliability, and power and noise analysis.
Conducts verification and signoff including formal equivalence verification, static timing analysis, reliability verification, static and dynamic power integrity, layout verification, electrical rule checking, and structural design checking. Analyzes results and makes recommendations to improve current and future CPU microarchitectures closely collaborating with logic, circuit, architecture, and design automation teams.
Possesses CPU specific expertise in various aspects of structural and physical design, including physical clock design, timing closure, coverage analysis, multiple power domain analysis, structured placement, routing, synthesis, and DFT. Works intimately with industry EDA vendors to build and enhance tool capabilities to design a highspeed, lowpower synthesizable CPU. Optimizes CPU design to improve productlevel parameters such as power, frequency, and area. Participates in the development and improvement of physical design methodologies and flow automation.
Responsibilities The team is responsible for all SoC level physical design and optimization flows ranging from Floor-planning, Clocking, Synthesis through GDS and parallel verification aspects such as Static Timing Analysis, Formal Verification, EM/IR/PDN verification, Quality Assurance, Layout Verification etc
Responsibilities may also include defining design requirements such as frequency, operating voltages, power, etc. to achieve optimized designs on new technologies, processes and architectures
The candidate would be required to work closely with the rest of the project team members to resolve issues which arise during the design cycle and take the key learnings into the next product cycle
We offer both broad-market Xeon-based solutions and custom x86-based products, ensuring tailored innovation for diverse needs across general-purpose compute, web services, HPC, and AI-accelerated systems
