Job Details: Job Description: Intel is shaping the future of technology to help create a better future for the entire world. Our work in pushing forward fields like AI, analytics, and cloud-to-edge technology is at the heart of countless innovations. With a career at Intel, you'll have the opportunity to use technology to power major breakthroughs and create enhancements that improve our everyday quality of life. Join us and help make the future more wonderful for everyone. Life at Intel Intel is seeking a Senior EDA Software Engineer for the Silicon Chassis team. In this technical hands-on leadership role, you will help define end-to-end automation strategy and lead development of the chassis automation tool. Chassis refers to non-compute infrastructure in any soc, which provide essential platform services and typically include interconnects, protocol bridges, clock/reset/power, security, debug/trace/analytics (DTA), RAS error logic, address maps, firmware tables etc. The chassis automation tool will collect user requirements, and translate these requirements into chassis parameters, topology and generate RTL, register definitions, integration and verification collateral for the chassis using highly parameterized and configurable sub-components. You will work directly with chassis architecture, RTL design, verification, and SOC integration teams to encode the architectural rules of the interconnect and develop a reliable, testable automation framework. You will also mentor the junior engineer joining alongside you. AI-assisted workflows are part of everyday development here. Consistent execution against schedule and quality goals is expected. Why This Role Is Exciting : Build a brand new automation platform by defining the tool, schema, and methodology from the ground up. Directly influence next-generation SoC chassis architectures and delivery. Collaborate across architecture, RTL, DV, and SoC integration teams. Drive technical direction and establish best practices with broad organizational impact. Key Responsibilities Architect, design, and implement a new chassis automation tool to meet requirements across multiple SoC programs, ensuring scalability, maintainability, and extensibility. Analyze chassis and interconnect architecture specifications, along with high-level SoC requirements, and build tooling and infrastructure to translate these requirements into generated outputs such as RTL, RDL, verification collateral, timing, and integration artifacts. Develop automation flows that convert architectural intent into concrete implementations, including topology generation, parameter derivation, register definitions, and associated collateral. Integrate with frontend and backend tool flows to enable robust validation and quality checks across generated artifacts (e.g., RTL, Verilog, SDC, RDL), ensuring correctness and consistency. Enable Power, Performance, and Area (PPA) optimization loops by building automation and analysis capabilities that evaluate design trade-offs and guide configuration decisions. Work closely with architecture, RTL design, verification, and SoC integration teams to ensure the tool accurately captures requirements and produces outputs that meet downstream expectations. Participate in and contribute to technical reviews with cross-functional stakeholders, incorporating feedback to improve tool capabilities, usability, and quality. Drive end-to-end execution from initial concepts and specifications through development, deployment, and ongoing maintenance of the automation framework. Lead delivery of the tool and associated outputs to multiple internal customers, balancing competing requirements, schedules, and priorities while maintaining high quality. Collaborate across organizational boundaries and contribute beyond immediate role scope when needed to unblock execution and ensure overall program success. Mentor and guide engineers, helping establish best practices in software design, testing, and maintainability, and elevating overall team effectiveness. The ideal candidate will possess the following behavioral traits: Ability to interpret architecture or micro-architecture specifications and translate them into robust software implementations. Excellent communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills, with a track record of delivering high-quality solutions on schedule. Qualifications: Minimum qualifications are required 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. Requirements listed would be obtained through a combination of industry relevant job experience, internship experiences and or schoolwork/classes/research. Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, with 7+ years of experience in CAD/EDA tooling, design automation, or semiconductor development OR Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, with 6+ years of experience in CAD/EDA tooling, design automation, or semiconductor. 5+ years’ experience of building scalable, maintainable software systems and frameworks rather than one-off scripts. 4+ years’ experience in Python or similar language designing and validating structured schemas using formats such as JSON or YAML. 2+ year's experience templating systems or code generation frameworks used for structured RTL or collateral generation. 1+ year experience with version control (Git), code reviews, unit/integration testing, and CI/CD practices. Preferred Qualifications: Experience building and developing EDA tooling 2+ years’ experience with digital SoC design concepts, including RTL hierarchy, synthesis flows, and parameterized IP design. 2+ years’ experience with System Verilog to understand and validate generated design outputs. Experience with Network-on-Chip (NoC) architectures or high-performance interconnect protocols such as AXI, CHI, PCIe, UCIe, or similar. Familiarity with IP packaging, configuration, and integration methodologies, including standards such as IP-XACT. Exposure to industry EDA tools and design flows. Knowledge of graph-based algorithms (e.g. NetworksX ) and data structures relevant to topology generation, connectivity modeling, or routing problems. Prior experience working in a semiconductor product development environment, such as CAD, RTL design, or verification. Experience in GUI development Requirements listed would be obtained through a combination of industry relevant job experience, internship experiences and or schoolwork/classes/research.

144,883 engineer jobs are open right now

Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.

144.883Jobs
31.687IN
81%EN

That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.

Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.

Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.

When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
