We are an end-to-end design team, based in Bangalore part of Intel Labs. We are looking for highly motivated individuals with a passion to work closely with design teams and creatively impact design flows and development. You will be responsible for the complete physical/back-end design convergence of complex SOC partitions starting from Synthesis till Tape-out. Along with the partition ownership you would be responsible for enhancing/customizing the PD flow and methodology based on the project needs. Your responsibilities will include the following: Working closely with the Design and Micro-Arch team in studying and analyzing the micro-arch specifications Develop timing constraints and provide feedback based on RTL synthesisOwn IP block level floor planning, CTS and P and R optimizations to meet design specs. Verifying and ensuring that Area/Power/Performance specifications are met. Verify design for all physical design verification flows which include STA, FEV, IR drop, Noise, Low power checks and DRC LVS Understand Intel physical design flows and debug/enhance the methodology as per project needs If required apply research-based learnings to improve design convergence
