About this role
About the Role Join Intel as an Atom CPU Layout Design Engineer. You will be part of a highly skilled team responsible for designing future-generation, high-performance Intel Atom microprocessors. You will drive the physical implementation of memory compilers, custom IP blocks, and layout partitions that directly support Intel’s CPU products. What You'll Do
- Ensuring all physical design implementations follow best‑in‑class layout methodologies and deliver highly efficient, high‑quality results.
- Independently performing and driving complex physical design assignments across multiple design stages.
- Working closely with circuit design engineers to interpret schematics and translate them into optimized physical layouts.
- Contributing across the full design flow—from leaf‑level cell layout to block‑level and top‑level integration.
- Partnering with SoC teams and cross‑site design groups to ensure alignment, reuse, and consistency across projects.
- Developing or enhancing layout scripts, macros, and automation solutions to improve productivity and design robustness (a strong plus). What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
- 6+ months of experience in layout design.
- Advanced English level.
- Must have unrestricted, permanent right to work in Mexico (this role is not eligible for visa or immigration sponsorship). Nice to Have
- Master's degree in electronic/Microelectronic Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
- 1+ year of experience or familiarity with Very Large Scale of Integration (VLSI) and CMOS logic circuit design.
- 1+ year of knowledge in Unix/Linux operating systems. Compensation & Benefits Not disclosed in the posting.
