We believe that developing these technologies takes a team of exceptionally talented individuals who work together to visualize, innovate, and make the future of computing possible. If you are excited about advanced development of breakthrough technologies for future-generation CPU cores, we welcome you to join us, to do something wonderful.
The focus of this role is to be part of a team of pre-silicon verification engineers to verify new and existing features for Intel's next generation CPU IP resulting in bug free final design.
You will be responsible for exhaustively validating the RTL implementation of new architecture and microarchitecture capabilities using a combination of standalone and top-level test environments as well as formal verification.
This team is responsible to ensure the highest quality of Intel's CPU designs, in a dynamic cross-team environment.
Role responsibilities include although not limited to:
- Developing pre-Si validation test plans and test scenarios to prove the correctness of the design.
- Development of components for a simulation-based environment: bus functional models, trackers, checkers, scoreboards, and test benches.
- Performing and debugging digital simulations and driving to closure of bugs.
- Development of functional coverage and achieving coverage goals.
- Working closely with design engineers, micro-architects, and other team members to ensure high quality of test plans, functional coverage, and tests.
- Deliver high-quality output against deadlines and working effectively in a cross-site team environment.
The ideal candidate should show the following behavioral traits:
- Excellent problem-solving, initiative and interpersonal skills.
