 Component Design and Validation
Engineering Overview Process and Yield Engineering Design Automation and Cad Engineering Hardware and Software Product Development Component Design and Validation
 

 
Moore's Law states that the number of transistors on a given area of silicon will double about every 24 months. As feature sizes become smaller and circuits operate at higher speeds, Intel Component Design and Validation engineers design innovative architectures that deliver new levels of performance and energy efficiency. Component design and validation engineers are responsible for chip layout circuit design, circuit checking, device evaluation, and validation. They review product requirements and logic diagrams; plan and organize design projects; and respond to special technical requests from customers. The team takes ownership of projects at the chip layout, circuit design, and prototype level. It's anything but routine and every day presents exciting new technical challenges.
 
What you'll do
 
  • Design chip and circuit layout
  • Modify and evaluate semiconductor devices and components
  • Review product requirements and logic diagrams
  • Plan and organize design projects
 
What you'll bring
 
  • Typical degrees include BS, MS, or PhD in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical and computing engineering, chemistry, materials science, or computer science.
  • Strong knowledge of processor architecture and micro architecture.
  • Experience with VHDL and Verilog RTL coding.
  • Experience with Synopsys Design Compiler/Physical Compiler.
  • System debug skills, including ITP experience.
  • Strong programming skills in C, C++, TCL, assembly and Perl.
  • Solid programming skills in the Linux or Windows environment, in particular: makefiles, compilers, integrated development environments, and debuggers (kdb, gdb).
  • Understanding of software and/or hardware validation techniques.
  • Solid understanding of system and processor architecture.
  • Excellent knowledge of overall validation and/or verification concepts in taking a part from design to production and the quality metrics needed.
