About this role
About the Role The CPU Memory Design Engineer will join Intel's CPU Circuit Technology team to design, develop, and build full-custom and compiler-based memories (SRAMs, large signal arrays, ROMs, caches) for Intel CPUs and SoCs. You will collaborate with domain experts to deliver high-quality memory technology and drive circuit innovations on advanced CMOS processes for high performance, high density, and low-power embedded memories. What You'll Do
- Technical readiness, memory circuit design, characterization and simulations.
- Cache design, critical path simulations and design of custom blocks to meet Power/Performance/Area constraints.
- Memory path-finding activities and memory PPA optimization.
- Memory bit-cell and complex periphery IC design and automation.
- Memory array/IP design and memory circuit innovation.
- Methodology definition and execution of project schedules. What We're Looking For
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or STEM with 4+ years of experience; or Master's with 3+ years; or PhD.
- Proficiency in CMOS circuit design, digital logic optimizations, and PPA trade-offs.
- Expertise in VLSI circuits and design methodologies.
- Preferred: experience in low-power implementation techniques and memory design; familiarity with circuit and layout trade-offs; knowledge of EBB design tools/flows and signal integrity analysis.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; ability to prioritize tasks and work in dynamic environments. Nice to Have
- Experience in low-power implementation techniques and memory design.
- Familiarity with circuit and layout trade-offs for optimized design.
- Knowledge of EBB design tools, flows and methodologies, and signal integrity analysis. Compensation & Benefits
- Annual Salary Range for US roles: $122,440 - $232,190 USD; salary will depend on location, skills, and experience.
- Benefits include health, retirement, vacation; stock bonuses may be included.
