Job Details: Job Description: The Role and Impact As a CPU Logic Design Engineer, you will play a critical role in designing and optimizing the logic for Intel's cutting-edge processors. You will drive the development of register transfer level (RTL) code and simulation for the CPU, enabling creation of cell libraries, functional units, and CPU IP blocks for integration into full-chip designs. Your expertise will be pivotal in defining architecture and microarchitecture features, ensuring Intel continues to deliver innovative solutions that lead the industry in performance, energy efficiency, and design integrity. By contributing to the development and optimization of logic structures, you will help create technology that enriches the lives of every person on Earth, while enabling Intel to achieve its broader mission of engineering a brighter future. What You’ll Do Key responsibilities will include but not limited to: Develop and optimize logic design, register transfer level (RTL) coding, and simulation for the CPU. Participate in defining the architecture and microarchitecture features of the CPU design. Write RTL and optimize logic for power, performance, area, and timing goals. Ensure design integrity for physical implementation through effective strategies, tools, and methods. Review verification plans to ensure design features are correctly validated and resolve failing RTL tests. Document microarchitectural specifications (MAS) for the CPU features. Collaborate with SoC customers to ensure seamless integration and high-quality performance of the CPU block.
