Job Details:Job Description:About the RoleJoin the Design Technology Platform (DTP) organization within Intel Foundry as part of the X-Chip SoC Full-Chip Integration team. This team plays a critical role in enabling next-generation semiconductor innovation by delivering testchip platforms that validate advanced process technologies and support high-volume manufacturing readiness.
In this role, you will contribute to the development of physical design methodologies and drive full-chip SoC integration for cutting-edge testchip vehicles. You will collaborate across design, process, and manufacturing teams to ensure high-quality, scalable solutions for advanced technology nodes.
What You'll DoKey responsibilities will include but not limited to:- Developing layout design methodology for testchip development in next generation process nodes
- Working closely with Process Integration, Yield and QnR to define critical Design features that need to be exercised in the early lead vehicle test chips.
- Establishing, orchestrating, overseeing, and maintaining hierarchical layout design specifications for correct-by-construction integration
- Building and executing tactical plans to converge hierarchical SOC layout design against aggressive schedule requirements by working closely with PDK teams
- Driving all aspects of physical design convergence, including preparing layout hierarchy for design tape-in, debugging and resolving issues uncovered by verification tools
- Working with tool/flow owners and vendors for ongoing tool/methodology improvement
Behavioral traits that we are looking for:- Exhibiting strong interest in Layout design in advanced technology nodes.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Ability to work well both autonomously and in an intensive, cooperative team environment
- Coordinate between different stakeholders for testchip to arrive at execution commit for testchip
- Motivation to continuously learn and drive to push improved layout productivity and efficiency
Qualifications:Minimum qualifications are required to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.
