Job Details: Job Description: Join Intel's AI Revolution Intel's AI SoC organization develops cutting-edge products powering a wide range of AI applications, from edge devices to data center accelerators. If you are an engineer with strong technical and communication skills who thrives in a fast-paced environment with abundant learning opportunities, you are the ideal candidate for this role. Join us to shape the future of AI hardware. What You'll Do As an RTL Design Engineer, you'll develop logic design, register transfer level (RTL) coding, and simulation for SoC designs, integrating IP blocks and subsystems into full chip SoC or discrete component designs. You'll participate in defining architecture and microarchitecture features while performing quality checks across various logic design aspects from RTL to timing/power convergence. You'll apply strategies, tools, and methods to write RTL and optimize logic to meet power, performance, area, and timing goals while ensuring design integrity for physical implementation. Working closely with verification teams, you'll review verification plans and resolve failing RTL tests to ensure feature correctness. You'll follow secure development practices and collaborate with IP providers for SoC-level integration and validation.
