CPU RTL Design Engineer

Job Description

This position is with the All Cores Engineering (ACE) group.The ACE team is chartered with designing the latest Intel processors using the most advanced and innovative process technologies. The processors conceived, designed and developed by the team directly contribute to Intel's leading processors used to create integrated hardware and software solutions such as processors, chipsets, graphics processors, motherboards, and networking components that deliver capabilities for security, manageability, performance, and energy efficiency. The agile ACE team is at the forefront of the rapidly evolving digital world of computing by providing processor solutions and capabilities to efficiently manage data that is extensively integrated into all aspects of everyday life impacting how the world rapidly accesses, stores and uses data for daily personal and business applications.

As a CPU RTL Design Engineer your responsibilities will include but are not limited to:

• Develops the logic design, register transfer level (RTL) coding, and simulation for a CPU required to generate cell libraries, functional units, and the CPU IP block for integration in full chip designs.
• Participates actively in the definition of architecture and microarchitecture features of the CPU being designed.
• Applies various strategies, tools, and methods to write RTL and optimize logic to qualify the design to meet power, performance, area, and timing goals as well as design integrity for physical implementation.
• Reviews the verification plan and implementation to ensure design features are verified correctly and resolves and implements corrective measures for failing RTL tests to ensure correctness of features.
• Documents micro architectural specs of the CPU features being designed. Supports SoC customers to ensure high quality integration of the CPU block.
