Job Description:

Advanced Design and Foundational IP (ADFIP) is part of Design Technology Platform (DTP) under Foundry Technology Development. ADFIP's core focus is design-technology co-optimization (DTCO), system-design co-optimization (STCO) and foundational IP development to support Intel technology development, internal client/server/NEX products and external tier0/tier1 customers. The organization develops logic libraries, memories, high-speed I/Os, analog and mixed signal IPs, RF/mm Wave circuits and 3D IC, and conducts comprehensive Si validation on process and package development test vehicles and FIP characterization vehicles. Advanced power, performance and area (PPA) analysis are conducted across domains to guide silicon and packaging technology definition to maximize technology PPA entitlement and minimize process risks and cost. As a process technology design engineer, you will be responsible for creating methodologies, models, and flows for advanced design rules for a specific process node and characterizes those models through silicon validation. Ensures IP and SoC design meets requirements and standards for a specific manufacturing process technology. Identifies ways to optimize silicon designs by evaluating device performance over a range of operating conditions. Resolves prototype issues and determines whether problems are design or process related. Conducts experiments to identify potential challenges in the process and ensure that the process meets yield, quality, and reliability standards. Drives continuous improvements to enhance the designs, materials, and methodologies. Disseminates process development information to design groups, ensures it meets future product requirements, and extracts necessary technical and device performance data for IP and SoC designs. Works with IP and SoC design teams to capture and optimize process requirements to enable competitive designs and products.
