About the role
Intel is hiring an Integrated Voltage Regulator (IVR) Design Engineer to work on the architecture, design, and implementation of high-performance power management solutions directly integrated onto advanced processors (CPUs, GPUs, or SoCs). The work sits at the intersection of Analog/Mixed-Signal IC design and Power Electronics, with a focus on improving energy efficiency and performance in next-generation computing systems. The role covers transistor-level circuit design and simulation, layout oversight, SPICE-based verification, and post-silicon bench characterization.
What you will do
- Circuit Architecture and Design: Develop and refine analog topologies such as Operational Amplifiers (Op-Amps), Bandgap References, Data Converters (ADC/DAC), and Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs).
- Design and Simulation: Perform transistor-level design using industry-standard tools (like Cadence Virtuoso). Conduct extensive Monte Carlo simulations, corner analysis, and noise analysis to ensure high yield and reliability.
- Layout Oversight: Collaborate closely with layout engineers to guide critical placement and routing, focusing on matching, shielding, and minimizing parasitic capacitance/resistance.
- Verification: Use SPICE-based simulators to verify circuit functionality against rigorous performance specifications (speed, power, gain, etc.).
- Post-Silicon Characterization: Bench-test silicon prototypes in the lab to validate performance against pre-silicon models and debug hardware anomalies
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
- Transistor Fundamentals: Expert knowledge of MOSFET/BJT device physics, small-signal modeling, and aging effects.
- EDA Tool Proficiency: Mastery of Cadence (Spectre/Virtuoso), Mentor Graphics, or Synopsys tool suites.
- Signal Integrity: Deep understanding of thermal noise, jitter, crosstalk, and power supply rejection ratio (PSRR).
- Mixed-Signal Flow: Familiarity with Verilog-A or Verilog-AMS for behavioral modeling of analog blocks.
- Education: BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering (EE) with a concentration in Analog IC Design.
- Experience: 3 - 7 years of experience in analog design (FinFET or planar CMOS nodes).
- Analytical Mindset: Strong mathematical background for analyzing feedback systems and stability.
