Physical Design Engineer

In this role you will be part of Intel's Barefoot Division under the Connectivity Group working on exciting programmable switch ASIC roadmap. You will engage with Architecture, DFT and packaging to arrive at optimal chip planning early in the design cycle. You will be part of our physical design team working closely with cluster and partition leads to comprehend design challenges and arrive at optimal floorplans. You will play a critical role in die size estimation and in evaluating floorplan tools, methods and flows. Your work will involve meticulous planning of various aspects of floor planning for optimal data flow for high pin densities and to facilitate high confidence timing closure and routability. With your broad understanding of physical design you will play a critical role in identifying and solving multitude of design issues at partition/cluster and full chip.
