About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics, or a related field.
  • At least 2 years of experience developing software/firmware automated test environments and tools using Python, C, C++, Git, and shell scripts.
  • At least 1 year of experience validating and characterizing IPs in standalone and full-chip environments, including results analysis and debugging using advanced test and measurement lab equipment, such as oscilloscopes and analyzers, to debug circuit boards.
  • Strong organizational skills to deliver objectives on schedule and within budget.
  • A collaborative team mindset.
  • Strong problem-solving skills.
  • Excellent communication skills.

Responsibilities

  • Work across firmware and hardware elements of the Ethernet PHY subsystem, collaborating with cloud service providers and internal silicon, hardware, firmware, and software development teams to deliver customized IPU- and FNIC-based solutions.
  • Drive feature-request processes, develop new solutions, and debug internal and external customer issues.
  • Design and develop systems and solutions integrating software, firmware, board, and silicon/SoC components, with attention to customer requirements and implementation limitations throughout the systems lifecycle.
  • Contribute to systems architecture and definition, translate business opportunities into use cases, and develop product specifications for required hardware and software.
  • Lead design, analysis, and implementation of component-level choices across integrated systems, evaluating performance, features, cost, technical risk, ease of use, reliability, security, availability, maintainability, sustainability, and quality against system or platform architecture specifications.
  • Define systems implementation and integration solutions and plans to optimize performance and reliability across system hardware and software.
  • Deliver end-to-end technical solutions to customer problems, deploy solutions, execute benchmark tests, and prepare documentation.
  • Collaborate with other teams to analyze next-generation requirements and opportunities, and guide research and academic collaboration on systems and solutions, including proofs of concept and solutions beyond current industry approaches.
  • Guide and conduct lab experiments for proof-of-concept innovations and new-feature feasibility studies; simulate real-life environments in the lab and analyze prototype performance.
  • Prepare installation, operation, and maintenance specifications and instructions.
  • Execute hands-on tests with lab test equipment to establish operating data.
  • Respond to customer and client requests or events as they occur.
  • Develop solutions to problems by applying technical expertise, formal education, and sound judgment.

Desired Qualifications

  • A master's degree or higher.
  • Experience with high-speed Ethernet PAM4 SerDes.
  • Familiarity with 802.3 Ethernet Physical Layer technologies.
  • Familiarity with reading and comprehending PCB schematics.
  • Experience in RTOS, firmware, software, IO tools, NVM configuration, or Pre-Si verification.
  • Familiarity with low-speed IO, such as I2C, MDIO, and UART.
  • Familiarity with Linux.
  • Familiarity with system software stacks, especially software-hardware interactions across platform firmware, device drivers, the Linux kernel, and user-space application performance.

About the Company

Intel

Pioneers microprocessors, CPUs for PCs

Intel designs and manufactures semiconductor chips, with a focus on microprocessors for personal computers, servers, and other devices. Its core product is the CPU on a single silicon chip, which executes instructions, handles arithmetic and logic operations, and coordinates the work of other computer components. Intel originated in memory chips but shifted decisively to microprocessors in the 1980s, becoming a central supplier for the PC era after the IBM partnership and its famous x86 processor line. This shift, large-scale manufacturing, and close ties with computer makers set Intel apart from competitors who remained focused on memory or other components. The company aims to power computing by delivering high-performance, energy-efficient silicon solutions that drive a wide range of computing devices and applications.
