Job Description
Intel Programmable Solutions Group (PSG) is looking for a SoC/Solution Micro-Architect for Structured ASIC products. This forward-looking dynamic role provides unique opportunities to influence future product roadmap, requiring a self-starter with strong personal communication and collaboration skills. As a SoC/Solution Micro-Architect, you will be responsible to work on feasibility of customer feature requests, partitioning them effectively between hardware/software and propose an effective implementation which meets the desired Power, Performance and Area targets.
You will need to work with cross functional teams and will be responsible for defining Micro-architecture specifications for the Structured ASIC solutions. You will also work closely with IP and platform implementation teams on the creation of Soft IP blocks, solutions and customer designs to enable those capabilities.
As a SoC Micro-Architect you will be responsible, but not limited to:
- Responsible for SoC Frontend Architecture and Design. Define micro-architecture specifications.
- Perform feasibility study on different third-party IP and integrate IP at the SOC level.
- Closely work with Verification team and help define testplan, run tests and debug design.
- Lead the performance model definition and development.
- Participate in design reviews of hardware and related software systems.
- Run Lint, CDC, Synthesis, STA and formal verification tools, work closely with Backend team on floorplan, Constraints definition and timing analysis.
- Participate and drive timing convergence for high speed designs including micro-architecture optimizations
- Collaborate with internal and external team members on architectural decisions, development flows and methodologies.
The ideal candidate will demonstrate:
- Experience with IA or CPU based SoC designs processor based SoC architectures.
- Experience with NoC design and integration with interconnect protocols, such as AXI, ACE, APB, etc.
