Job Description: 

As a Physical Design Timing Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the performance, power efficiency, and functionality of Intel's cutting-edge System-on-Chip (SoC) designs. Your expertise will directly impact product quality, enabling groundbreaking advancements in technology that drive computing innovation. Collaborating across multiple teams, you will contribute to the creation and optimization of high-performance, low-power solutions while developing methodologies that enhance efficiency and operational excellence. This is an exciting opportunity to work on complex designs that have a global impact, delivering solutions that power today's world and inspire tomorrow's possibilities.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Perform SOC level timing analysis and optimization, ensuring designs meet functional and performance requirements.
  • Generate and verify timing constraints while addressing timing violations at the chip or block level for SoCs.
  • Conduct timing rollups and develop optimized clock networks for functionality, performance, and power efficiency.
  • Define methodologies to produce high-quality timing models and enable efficient physical design execution.
  •  Establish the appropriate process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) conditions for timing analysis, aligning with product plans, and binning strategies.
  • Work closely with the clocking team and full-chip designers to balance timing fixes, power delivery, clocking, and partitioning.
  • Collaborate with architecture, clocking design, DFT and logic design teams to develop flows for chip integration and validate clock network performance guidelines.
