The Foundational Security team (FST) is looking for digital logic designers keen to work on a scalable IP design. Candidate will be responsible for design and validation of new IP roadmap features as part of FST's HW IP developing HW security for various market segments across Intel. As a member of the team, the candidate would be responsible for driving scalable IP development while also making the Design Integration and SOC delivery a fully automated solution. Candidate will be part of an IP team working closely with other verification engineers, RTL design engineers, micro-architects, and other team members in determining the proper implementation strategy for new design, ensure quality of design, and develop test-plans, verification environment, and drive delivery to SoC. They will have an opportunity to learn and contribute towards making Intel Hardware more secure.
The primary responsibilities for this role will include, but are not limited to:
- Develops the logic design, register transfer level (RTL) coding, and simulation for an IP required to generate cell libraries, functional units, IP blocks, and subsystems for integration in full chip designs.
- Participates in the definition of architecture and microarchitecture features of the block 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.
- Supports SoC customers to ensure high-quality integration and verification of the IP block.
- Drives quality assurance compliance for smooth IPSoC handoff.
- Excellent communication and organization skills are critical, along with teamwork, and must demonstrate strong technical skills, along with having passion for design or validation.
- Must have strong orientation for Quality and Commit and Deliver and Drive Innovation/efficiencies and have strong strategic thinking to come up w/ paradigm shift solutions to critical design/validation challenges. Strong analysis, debugging skills, and creative in problem solving.
A successful candidate will have proven experience demonstrating the following skills and behavioral traits:
- Strong analysis.
- Debugging skills.
- Creative in problem solving.
