The Role:

The Design Technology Pathfinding (DTP) organization in Design Enabling (DE) is chartered to identify and drive key strategic initiatives in the pathfinding of future technologies, as a holistic Design co-optimization across the Product stack from System architecture to silicon as we extend DTCO to STCO (System Technology Co-Optimization). The job requires partnering and leveraging domain experts across Intel and the EDA Eco-System.

Deliverables:

- Run Place and Route to design convergence to establish STCO 2D-3D Physical design baseline, assess quality, perform design analysis and 3D PPA optimization.

- 3D EDA evaluation and methodology development.- Inter chiplet analysis and validation with Synopsys 3D-IC Compiler and Cadence3D Integrity.

- Identify design optimization opportunities (silicon, package, EDA, architecture configuration, methodology, etc)

- Analyze architecture critical paths to identify how to best take advantage of this technology.

- Identify machine learning opportunities for further optimization.

- Highly independent, creative, and out-of-the-box thinker.

This is a fulltime remote or Hybrid (depending on location) internship with a length of 3-4 months, but may be extended to 9+ months.
