Job Description: 

Mission, Team Context
The HIPD SAM team is responsible for delivering end-to-end Physical Design and Analog Layout for Intel's Client, Server and ASIC Hard-IP portfolios, as well as advanced testchips for IP and SoC functional blocks. The team supports implementation from RTL/Netlist through GDSII and executes using established Physical Design methodologies and sign-off practices.

The Role and Impact:
As a Physical Design Timing Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in driving the success of Intel's next-generation mixed signal IPs. Your work will directly contribute to delivering high-performance, low-power designs that power innovative products and shape the future of technology. Leveraging your expertise in timing analysis and optimization, you will be integral in ensuring the efficiency, functionality, and performance of Intel's cutting-edge designs. This position offers the opportunity to collaborate with cross-functional teams, influence chip architectures, and develop methodologies that set new industry standards.

Key Responsibilities:
- Perform timing analysis and optimization to meet design specifications at the Partition and IP level levels.
- Generate and verify timing constraints, addressing timing violations across complex SoC designs.
- Conduct timing rollups, ensuring designs meet functionality, performance, and power goals.
- Develop performance and power-optimized clock networks, collaborating with clocking and backend teams.
- Define methodologies for high-quality timing models to optimize physical design team efficiency.
- Establish process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) conditions for timing analysis based on product requirements.
- Work closely with architecture, clocking design, and logic design teams to support flow development, chip integration, and clock network validation.
- Drive timing fixes, clocking balance, and power delivery through close coordination with full-chip designers.
- Ensure timing budgets are met and collaborate on timing closure reviews.

Qualifications:

Minimum Qualifications:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
- 4+ years of experience with a Bachelor's degree or 3+ years of experience with a Master's degree in timing analysis and optimization for SoC designs.
- Proficiency in static timing analysis, timing budgeting, timing constraint adaptation, and clock network optimization.
- Expertise in methodologies relating to timing models, PVT conditions, and timing rollups.

Preferred Qualifications:
- Demonstrated ability to collaborate across architecture, clocking, and logic design teams to drive integration and timing validation.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with an ability to innovate methodologies for efficient design processes.
- Experience with closure reviews and resolving timing violations in complex designs.
- Passion for advancing high-performance, low-power technologies and contributing to industry-leading designs.

We invite you to bring your expertise, creativity, and drive to Intel as we continue to shape the future of technology together. Apply today to be part of a team that values innovation, collaboration, and impact.
