Job Description: 

Do Something Wonderful. Intel put the Silicon in Silicon Valley. No one else is this obsessed with engineering a brighter future. Every day, we create world changing technology that enriches the lives of every person on earth. So, if you have a big idea, let's do something wonderful together. Join us, because at Intel, we are building a better tomorrow.

Come join us -In this role you will be part for the Server SoC Design Validation team, working on next-generation Xeon server product SOCs and IPs.

Your responsibilities include but are not limited to:

  • Performs functional logic verification and emulation validation of an integrated SoC to ensure design will meet specifications.
  • Defines and develops scalable and reusable block, subsystem, and SoC verification plans, test benches, and the verification environment to meet the required level of coverage and confirm to microarchitecture specifications.
  • Executes verification plans and defines and runs emulation and system simulation models to verify the design, analyze power and performance, and uncover bugs.
  • Replicates, root causes, and debugs issues in the pre-silicon environment. Finds and implements corrective measures to resolve failing tests.
  • Collaborates and communicates with SoC architects, micro-architects, full chip architects, RTL developers, post-silicon, and physical design teams to improve verification of complex architectural and microarchitectural features.
  • Documents test plans and drive technical reviews of plans and proofs with design and architecture teams.
  • Incorporates and executes security activities within test plans, including regression and debug tests, to ensure security coverage.
  • Maintains and improves existing functional verification infrastructure and methodology.
  • Absorbs learning from post-silicon on the quality of validation done during pre-silicon development, updates test plan for missing coverages and proliferates to future products.
  • Behavioral traits that we are looking for Robust understanding of fundamental principles of cache coherency in multi-processor SOCs, and experience with layered protocols - transaction layer, data link layer, and PHY layer.
  • Strong debug skills and self-reliance in taking an issue to closure with internal and external partners.
