Job Details

Job Description:

As a Mixed Signal Logic Design Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of high-speed and mixed signal IP designs at Intel. Your contributions will directly impact the development of cutting-edge technologies that enable the integration of functional units, IP blocks, and subsystems into full chip designs. This position is at the forefront of innovation, requiring collaboration with cross-functional teams to define architecture and microarchitecture features, optimize performance, and ensure design integrity. Your work will drive Intel's success in achieving power, performance, and area goals, empowering our customers with industry-leading solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop architecture and microarchitecture specifications for the logic components and contribute to the overall system architecture decisions
• Implement specifications/designs in RTL and coordinate the work of other junior designers to deliver high-quality, complex logic blocks
• Develop behavioral models that represent analog and mixed-signal circuit blocks using SystemVerilog
• Run simulations and debug using logic, mixed-signal validation and AMS simulation tools
• Ensure high-quality designs by using industry standard tools such as linting and CDC analysis
• Support the physical design team in implementing your designs, including synthesis and timing closure
• Work with the pre-silicon validation/verification team to develop test plans and verification collateral
• Work with post-silicon validation teams to resolve post-silicon issues

Qualifications

You must possess the below minimum qualifications 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.
