Senior Neuromorphic Processor Design Engineer

Job Details:

Job Description: 

We are looking for a Senior Neuromorphic Processor Design Engineer specializing in micro-architecture and logic design to join Intel’s Neuromorphic Computing Lab to implement the next generation of Intel's future commercial neuromorphic processors and IP. 

 
Neuromorphic computing takes inspiration from biological systems to realize vastly more efficient AI processors than today's conventional compute systems through memory-compute integration, event-based processing and massive parallelism. Intel Loihi is the leading, most versatile neuromorphic AI processor enabling energy-efficient and high-performance AI applications spanning perception, planning and control tasks from the edge to the data center. 
 

As a Senior Neuromorphic Processor Design Engineer, your responsibilities include (but are not limited to): 

• Drive and oversee the front-end design and optimization of Intel's next generation neuromorphic cores, chiplets, and IP.  

• Work with a small yet elite team of design, verification, and EDA engineers who are comfortable contributing across all levels of silicon engineering and have advanced the forefront of asynchronous and neuromorphic design for many years.  

• Collaborate with a broader interdisciplinary team spanning system and software architects, AI framework developers, application engineers, and algorithms researchers working to advance Intel's neuromorphic technology out of the lab and into a wide range of commercial products. 

In addition to the qualifications listed below, the ideal candidate will also have exhibited the behavioral skills below: 

• Ability to learn and adapt new design and computing concepts in relation to the many novel properties of neuromorphic computing.  

• Eagerness to learn and a passion for innovation are essential prerequisites for success in this role. 

Qualifications:

You must possess the below minimum qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates. Experience listed below would be obtained through a combination of your schoolwork/classes/research and/or relevant previous job and/or internship experiences. 

Minimum Qualification: 

• Bachelor's degree Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering,  other related field  with 9+ years of related experience in silicon design implementation, design and automation, circuits, RTL, and microarchitecture design of ASICs, SoCs, and processors OR  Master’s degree Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering,  other related field with 6+ years of related experience in silicon design implementation, design and automation, circuits, RTL, and microarchitecture design of ASICs, SoCs, and processors  

• 8+ years of experience developing new high-performance RTL-level designs. 

• 5+ years of experience with quantitative power/performance/area modeling. 

• 3+ years of experience leading IP-level microarchitecture definition.  

Preferred Qualification:  

•  PhD with publications in relevant fields such as circuit/silicon design, hardware modeling, design methodologies, or AI. 

• Software programming experience in C/C++ or Python.
• Experience with non-standard design methodologies, especially asynchronous design.  
• Experience with AI hardware design, deep learning, and AI workload compute dataflow. 
• Experience with high-level synthesis tools and novel HDLs such as SystemC, Chisel, or CAST. 
• Experience with non-standard design methodologies, especially asynchronous design.
