Job Description:
Join a Team That Defines the Heartbeat of Next-Generation CPUs.
Intel is seeking passionate engineers to help develop the clocking architecture that powers our next-generation CPU products. Whether you’re a college graduate eager to launch your career or an experienced engineer ready to solve some of the industry’s most complex technical challenges, you’ll have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge semiconductor technologies that impact millions of devices worldwide.

As a CPU Clock Design Engineer you will contribute to the design, implementation, analysis, and optimization of clock distribution networks that enable industry-leading performance, power efficiency, and product scalability.

What You’ll Do
Responsibilities may include, but are not limited to:
• Design, implement, and optimize clock distribution networks for high-performance CPU and SoC products.
• Contribute to clock architecture development and clock tree synthesis (CTS) methodologies.
• Perform timing analysis and support timing closure across complex semiconductor designs.
• Develop custom circuits, library cells, and clock-related design solutions.
• Analyze performance, power, area, and timing tradeoffs to improve product efficiency.
• Create automation solutions using scripting and programming languages to improve design productivity.
• Collaborate closely with architecture, design, physical implementation, validation, and EDA teams.
• Support debug, validation, and optimization activities throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Drive technical issues to closure while maintaining high-quality engineering standards.
• Influence future methodologies, design flows, and clocking technologies.

Behavioral Traits We Are Looking For
• Strong ownership and accountability for technical deliverables.
• Curiosity and passion for solving complex engineering challenges.
• Effective problem-solving and analytical thinking skills.
• Ability to collaborate across multiple engineering disciplines.
• Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Adaptability and willingness to learn new tools, technologies, and methodologies.
• Ability to balance multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Continuous focus on quality, execution, and innovation.

Qualifications:
You must possess the below minimum qualifications 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.

Minimum qualifications:
Must have either BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.

Minimum 6 year of experience in:

• CPU Clock Design.
• CPU physical design and timing verification.
• Synthesis/APR flows on multi voltage high frequency designs including custom polygon editing.
• Tcl scripting.
• Noise, cross-talk, OCV analysis.
• Floorplanning and physical design and timing closure.
• Formal equivalence, DRC/LVS, IR and electro-migration checks.

Preferred qualifications:

• 7+ years of experience with the above skill sets.
• Experience with Fusion Compiler, DCT, DCE, ICC2, RedHawk, ICV, Conformal, Calibre, PrimeTime, StarRCXT.
• Cadence Tools Experience Not a Must But Preferred.
