EDA Design Flow Development Engineer

Job Description

Technology Development (TD) is the heart and soul of Moore's Law at Intel, enabling Intel to create world-changing technology that enriches the lives of every person on earth. TD drives breakthrough research and develops next generation process/packaging technologies, while also running high volume manufacturing operations in its state-of-the-art facilities in Oregon and Arizona. The Design Technology Platform (DTP) team in TD works closely with the technology team to maximize the value proposition of the technology for our customers thru Design Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO), delivers the Process Design Kits (PDKs), foundational IPs (FIPs), and the Intel Foundry reference flows. These same deliverables carry out technology lead vehicle execution for Si validation. Enablement and optimization of reference flows and design flows on Intel technology play a crucial role in accomplishing DTP's charter.

Design flow development engineer will work in a team responsible for architecting, executing, and delivery of the EDA design flow for all DTCO activities, technology lead vehicle design, IP design, and product design in TD. The design flow will be built on top of a reference flow enabled on Intel technology and released from external EDA vendors. The design flow covers all aspects of front-end and back-end design from RTL to GDS, digital and analog, design creation, verification, and signoff. The candidate must be result-oriented and capable of disciplined flow execution to meet delivery milestones in a fast-paced environment on advanced technology nodes. Prior experience in EDA tool/flow and design environment development is highly desirable. Familiarity with automated SoC design methodology and/or analog/mixed-signal design methodology is a big plus.

Qualifications

Minimum qualifications are required to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.

Minimum Qualification:

• Candidate must have a BS, MS, or PhD degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering or similar field.
• BS + 10 years or M.S./Ph.D. + 7 years of experience in the development of EDA tools, flows and/or design env for digital or analog designs with demonstrated strong programing skills.
• Working knowledge in digital and/or analog Si design and methodology.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Working knowledge with major (EDA) software platforms (Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens).
• Working knowledge of all aspects of digital SoC in a product setting - floorplanning, RTL design, logic synthesis, place and route, clock tree construction, extraction and timing signoff, signal integrity analysis, layout and reliability verification, and full chip integration.
• Working knowledge of key aspects of Analog tools - schematic entry, custom layout editing, extraction, simulation, reliability, and signoff.
• Demonstrated experience in establishing and qualifying digital or analog design flow from an EDA reference flow and addressing product specific design/methodology requirements and design database management.
• Demonstrated ability to understand and interpret industry EDA trend in response to advanced node requirements, drive design flow initiatives to align.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
