About the Job

Requirements

  • A Bachelor's degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science with at least 4 years of hands-on SoC design verification experience, or a Master's degree in those fields with at least 3 years of experience.
  • Proficiency in developing test plans, simulation models, and debug procedures for complex SoC designs.
  • Experience with verification tools such as Universal Verification Methodology (UVM), SystemVerilog, and emulation platforms.
  • Strong technical expertise in register-transfer-level (RTL) design and verification methodologies.
  • Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python or Perl for process automation.

Responsibilities

  • Develop scalable and reusable verification plans, test benches, and environments to validate functional logic for integrated SoC designs.
  • Execute simulations and emulation models to verify design accuracy, analyze power and performance, and uncover potential issues.
  • Debug failing tests, identify root causes, and implement corrective measures within pre-silicon environments.
  • Collaborate with architects, microarchitects, RTL developers, and other design teams to improve verification coverage and methodologies.
  • Incorporate security activities and regression tests into validation plans to ensure comprehensive protection of SoC designs.
  • Document test plans and drive technical reviews with cross-functional teams to optimize design verification strategies.
  • Use post-silicon feedback to enhance validation methodologies for future products.

Desired Qualifications

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to address architectural and microarchitectural challenges.
  • Leverage learning from post-silicon validation to enhance pre-silicon processes.
  • Identify and resolve design issues through problem-solving and attention to detail.
  • Pursue innovation and continuous improvement in SoC design verification strategies.

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.
