Process Technology Design Engineer.

Job Description

This position is with the Library Technology Benchmarking team within the Foundry Technology Development's Advanced Design Organization. This group works closely with both process and product design teams, to deliver capabilities to optimize and integrate digital-logic circuits with Intel's leading edge process technology.

Candidate will participate in design, development, and analysis of pre-layout, post-layout and post-silicon "technology benchmarking metrics." These metrics are used to target and benchmark digital-logic power and performance associated with the various technology nodes. These metrics are meant to serve as a common reference point between process and product teams for digital-logic performance targeting and tracking in both pre and post silicon domains. The candidate is also expected to analyze power/performance tradeoffs between the different Standard Cell library offerings during technology pathfinding and formulate physical layout design guidelines for power/performance optimization.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

- Participating in Technology and Standard Cell library architecture pathfinding activities.
- Contributing to Design Technology Co-optimization of different Standard Cell library offerings on a given technology node.
- Design and development of pre-layout and post-layout technology benchmarking metrics.
- Formulating physical layout design guidelines for power/performance optimization.
- Pre-silicon oscillator characterization followed by Post-silicon analysis, to identify and quantify FEOL/BEOL factors contributing to Silicon-to-Simulation gap.

Behavioral traits/skills such as:

- Customer orientation.

- Written and verbal communication skills.

- Ability to work with external and internal partners in a flexible manner.

Qualifications

You must possess the below minimum qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.

Minimum Qualification:

Candidate must possess a MS degree with 3+ years of experience or PhD degree with 1+ years of experience in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering or related field.

Experience in the following:

- Solid technical background in the areas of CMOS device electronics and digital-logic/mixed-signal circuits.
- Experience using CAD tools in one or more of the following areas: circuit simulation and modeling, physical layout design, design validation, field solver simulation, design synthesis and APR.

Preferred Qualification:

Experience in the following:

- Capability of one or more languages (C/C++, TCL, Perl, Python) for design automation.
