About the Role
Join the Design Technology Platform (DTP) organization within Intel Foundry as part of the X-Chip SoC Full-Chip Integration team. This team plays a critical role in enabling next-generation semiconductor innovation by delivering testchip platforms that validate advanced process technologies and support high-volume manufacturing readiness. In this role, you will contribute to the development of physical design methodologies and drive full-chip SoC integration for cutting-edge testchip vehicles. You will collaborate across design, process, and manufacturing teams to ensure high-quality, scalable solutions for advanced technology nodes.
Responsibilities
- Developing layout design methodology for testchip development in next generation process nodes
- Working closely with Process Integration, Yield and QnR to define critical Design features that need to be exercised in the early lead vehicle test chips.
- Establishing, orchestrating, overseeing, and maintaining hierarchical layout design specifications for correct-by-construction integration
- Building and executing tactical plans to converge hierarchical SOC layout design against aggressive schedule requirements by working closely with PDK teams
- Driving all aspects of physical design convergence, including preparing layout hierarchy for design tape-in, debugging and resolving issues uncovered by verification tools
- Working with tool/flow owners and vendors for ongoing tool/methodology improvement
Requirements
- Master's degree in electrical engineering or related field with minimum of 5 years of experience
- Experience with physical/layout design in advance technology nodes
- Experience in Layout design tools like Cadence Virtuoso Suite or Synopsys Custom Compiler
- Experience with Design rules and layout constraints in advanced semiconductor processes
- Experience with floorplanning, hierarchical design integration, and layout verification/debug
- Experience in Definition of Testchip/Product design from Concept to Execution Commit
- Experience in working with Foundry teams on negotiating features to exercise in design
- Proven Project Management skills on coordinating and tracking the entire design cycle of a project from Feature definition to final Tape-in
- Previous related work experience in a semiconductor foundry preferred
