About the job

Designs and integrates cache subsystems for Intel AI SoCs, from microarchitecture and RTL implementation through verification, timing closure, and silicon bring-up.

What you'll do

  • Evaluate architectural trade-offs and define microarchitecture specifications; implement RTL and deliver synthesis- and timing-clean designs.
  • Work with verification and physical design teams on validation, timing constraints, synthesis, timing closure, and formal equivalence checks.
  • Lead post-silicon validation, debug, and performance analysis; mentor junior engineers and advance design practices.

What they ask for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, with 12+ years of RTL design experience; OR relevant master’s degree with 8+ years; OR relevant PhD with 6+ years.
  • Advanced proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog RTL design and hands-on SoC system integration experience.
  • Expertise in AXI and AHB bus protocols and embedded processor architectures; ability to address clock domain crossings, power optimization, and timing closure.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python or TCL for automation and design flow customization.

Nice to have

  • Knowledge of high-speed and low-power design techniques; experience in SoC multicore CPU subsystem design and GPU cache development.
  • Familiarity with EDA tools such as VCS, Questa, IES, Spyglass, Xilinx Vivado, or Altera Quartus II.
