Job Description: 

Join Intel's All Cores Engineering (ACE) organization to be a part of the team responsible for delivering Intel's industry-leading CPU cores. You will work as a Design Automation & DevOps Software Engineer for the development of tools used in advanced CPU design. In this role you will be responsible for key aspects of the design infrastructure including managing an internal cloud of high-performance compute that is essential for CPU design and analysis.  

What You'll Do

This role sits at the intersection s/w engineering and CPU design.  You'll join a team adopting AI-assisted development tools as part of the central engineering platform, with more workflows moving in that direction every day. You will contribute to both the established work of building and maintaining automation solutions and the forward-looking work of helping to realize the full potential of AI tools for CPU design. 

Key responsibilities will include but not limited to:

• Develop and deploy software solutions that enhance design tool capabilities to streamline debugging and improve overall design productivity.
• Contribute to an AI based development environment that is actively expanding — helping to migrate, modernize, and standardize workflows. 
• Partner with compute and infrastructure teams to maintain a scalable, reliable design environment including an internal cloud that supports both our current workflows and the AI-augmented workflows we are building toward.

Behavioral Traits We Are Looking For

• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills — you can navigate both established engineering challenges and the newer questions that come with integrating AI into complex technical workflows.  You are energized by finding smarter, faster ways to solve engineering problems and are motivated by the idea of helping shape what AI-assisted engineering looks like in one of the most technically demanding environments in the industry.  You are able to integrate AI solutions when appropriate to enhance productivity and speed up deliverables. 
• Collaborative and communicative — you work effectively across design teams, CAD, and software teams, and you actively contribute to a shared learning environment. 
• Detail-oriented with a quality mindset — You take ownership of the correctness, security, and maintainability of everything you ship.  You understand that AI-generated code must be held to the same standards. 
• Enthusiastic about AI-assisted development and eager to grow with it — you are excited to be part of a team that is actively evolving how it works, and you bring energy and curiosity to the process of learning and applying AI. 

Intel invests in our people and offers a complete and competitive package of benefits employees and their families through every stage of life.
