SoC Design Verification Engineer

Job Description:

Do Something Wonderful!

Intel put Silicon in Silicon Valley. No one else is obsessed with engineering and have 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.

Who We Are

We are a Custom IP and Silicon engineering team part of Intel’s Silicon Engineering Group. The team works on design and verification of cutting-edge IP and SoCs geared towards Intel’s advanced Data center and AI SoCs. We look to drive major technological and methodological advancements across multiple areas of IP and SoC Design and Verification, looking to set a high bar across the organization and ensure that Intel has a competitive product in the market.

Who You Are

This role is in SoC Design Verification Engineer. Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Performs functional logic verification 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 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 presilicon environment.
• Finds and implements corrective measures to resolve failing tests.
• Collaborates and communicates with SoC architects, microarchitects, full chip architects, RTL developers, postsilicon, 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 postsilicon on the quality of validation done during presilicon development, updates test plan for missing coverages, and proliferates to future products.
• Coordinating and steering the efforts of multiple teams and team members.
• Developing test-bench components such as monitors, scoreboard/checkers, and bus functional models (BFMs).

Qualifications:

You must possess the minimum education requirements and minimum required qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Relevant experience can be obtained through schoolwork, classes, project work, internships, and/or military experience. Additional preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.
Minimum Qualifications
