SoC Logic Design Engineer

About the Role

As a SoC Logic Design Engineer at Intel's Data Center Group (DCG), you will contribute to the development, coding, and simulation of system-on-chip (SoC) designs. You will integrate logic from various IP blocks and subsystems into a complete chip design, ensuring power, performance, area, and timing goals are met. This role impacts the delivery of high-quality SoC solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement logic for SoC blocks and subsystems using Register Transfer Level (RTL) coding techniques.
• Integrate IP blocks and subsystems into full chip SoC designs.
• Conduct quality checks for logic design, RTL coding, timing, power, and area.
• Optimize logic designs to meet power, performance, area, and timing targets.
• Review verification plans and resolve failing RTL tests.
• Collaborate with IP providers to integrate and validate IPs for SoC-level designs.
• Follow secure development practices to meet security objectives.
• Drive compliance with quality assurance standards for IP and SoC handoff.

Requirements & Tech Stack

• Advanced experience in Register Transfer Level (RTL) coding languages such as Verilog or VHDL.
• Basic knowledge with industry-standard tools for logic design, synthesis, and simulation (e.g., Synopsys Design Compiler, Cadence Xcelium).
• Basic knowledge of power, performance, and area optimization in SoC designs.
• Basic knowledge of timing analysis and static timing tools.

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field, with 0 - 1 years of hands-on experience in logic design (internships, academic projects, coursework, or training) OR a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field with no prior professional experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
• Effective communication skills for cross-functional collaboration.
• Experience working on academic or industry projects involving SoC design and IP integration.
• Passion for learning and contributing to semiconductor technology advancements.
