As a SoC Logic Design Engineer, you will actively 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. Your work will directly impact the delivery of cutting-edge, high-quality SoC solutions that drive advancements in technology and innovation.
The role is part of Intel's Data Center Group (DCG), which focuses on delivering advanced solutions that enable data-centric computing for global industries. As a member of this organization, you will collaborate on projects that shape the performance, security, and efficiency of Intel's data center offerings, contributing to the broader infrastructure required for modern computing needs.
The primary responsibilities for this role will include, but are not limited to:
- 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, ensuring seamless functionality.
- Conduct quality checks across various aspects of logic design, from RTL coding to timing, power, and area convergence.
- Optimize logic designs to meet power, performance, area, and timing targets.
- Review verification plans and resolve failing RTL tests to ensure correctness of design features. - Collaborate with IP providers to integrate and validate IPs for SoC-level designs.
- Follow secure development practices to meet security objectives and address security threats in designs.
- Drive compliance with quality assurance standards for successful IP and SoC handoff.
