PDK Engineer Extraction Development

The Role and Impact:

As a Process Design Kit (PDK) Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in developing and ensuring the quality of PDK collateral that enables cutting-edge silicon designs. You will be responsible for maintaining and validating design environments for specific technology nodes, working on parasitic extraction, physical verification, and design methodologies to set the foundation for high-quality, efficient design flows. This role is integral to advancing Intel's product lines and ensuring seamless collaboration across design and manufacturing teams. Business Group:

You will join the Design Technology Platform Enablement group, which focuses on creating world-class design environments to support Intel's advanced process technologies. This group collaborates with design teams, EDA vendors, and technology development experts to deliver high-quality design tools and methodologies that drive innovation across Intel's product offerings. Key Responsibilities:

- Develop and maintain PDK collateral, including Metal R and C extraction, runsets, LVS , physical design verification decks, and modeling transistors for silicon designers. - Perform validation for PDK libraries, ensuring compliance with design rules and correct implementations for advanced process nodes. - Build test structures and simulate physical verification, parasitic extraction, and device modeling to deliver high-quality design solutions. - Collaborate with stakeholders to resolve PDK-related issues, including debugging, root cause analysis, and error dispositioning. - Drive automation and scalability by developing QA methodologies and tools to enhance coverage across technology nodes. - Partner with EDA vendors to enable new tool functionalities and improve design workflows. - Document and deliver design flows, guidelines, and tutorials to optimize usability for internal and external design communities. - Engage with cross-functional teams to support new process development and ensure ease of use for the design ecosystem.
