About the Role

As a CPU Logic Design Engineer, you will play a critical role in designing and optimizing the logic for Intel's cutting-edge processors. You will drive the development of register transfer level (RTL) code and simulation for the CPU, enabling creation of cell libraries, functional units, and CPU IP blocks for integration into full-chip designs. Your expertise will be pivotal in defining architecture and microarchitecture features, ensuring Intel continues to deliver innovative solutions that lead the industry in performance, energy efficiency, and design integrity. By contributing to the development and optimization of logic structures, you will help create technology that enriches the lives of every person on Earth, while enabling Intel to achieve its broader mission of engineering a brighter future.

Responsibilities

Develop and optimize logic design, register transfer level (RTL) coding, and simulation for the CPU.
Participate in defining the architecture and microarchitecture features of the CPU design.
Write RTL and optimize logic for power, performance, area, and timing goals.
Ensure design integrity for physical implementation through effective strategies, tools, and methods.
Review verification plans to ensure design features are correctly validated and resolve failing RTL tests.
Document microarchitectural specifications (MAS) for the CPU features.
Collaborate with SoC customers to ensure seamless integration and high-quality performance of the CPU block.

Requirements

Strong ownership of complex technical deliverables and a commitment to delivering results.
Strong problem-solving and analytical skills with a data-driven approach.
Excellent collaboration skills across architecture, design, verification, and integration teams.
Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or computer science with 5+ years of relevant experience. Or a Master's degree in the same filed with 3+ years of experience.
5+ years experience in CPU RTL design using System Verilog, with strong knowledge of logic design, simulation, and debug.
3+ years experience with modern energy-efficient and low-power logic design methods, including techniques applicable to high-frequency optimization.
3+ years experience in Cross-clock domain crossings and power aware design.
3+ years experience in scripting languages such as TCL, Perl, or Python.
Knowledge on CPU power-management namely power/electrical budgeting, dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, thermal, P/C states and reset sequence handling.
Comprehensive knowledge of Intel Architecture ISA and system architecture, including x86 assembly language.
Experience with high-speed circuit design and optimization, specifically for datapath, circuits, and arrays.
Familiarity with circuit planning and timing convergence processes.
Ability to leverage broad understanding of CPU architecture to deliver impactful solutions.
Proficient with static timing analysis, UPF and lint checks.
