The Role and Impact
We are looking for Senior DFT Design Engineers to join our team who are ready to make significant impacts in graphics and visual computing. As a member of the GHI DFT group, you will be responsible for the following activities:
You will work on the design, RTL/GLS validation, automation, and/or timing analysis for Scan/ATPG
You will also contribute or be involved with trace/pattern generation efforts as well as post-silicon enabling, debug support, and/or analysis of ATPG content
Develops the logic design, register transfer level (RTL) coding, and simulation for graphics IPs (including graphics, compute, display, and media) required to generate cell libraries, functional units, and the GPU IP block 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 across verification hierarchies, drives unit level verification, and resolves and implements corrective measures for failing RTL tests to ensure correctness of features.
Supports SoC customers to ensure high-quality integration of the GPU block.
Business Group
The Data Center Group (DCG) develops advanced technologies that power data-intensive workloads across industries. As part of DCG, the GPU Hardware IP (GHI) team designs and validates next-generation graphics engines. The group's mission focuses on innovation in visual computing and delivering high-performance solutions that propel Intel's leadership in graphics. Joining this team means shaping the future of GPU development and contributing to impactful technologies.
