Life at Intel (

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

Who You Are:

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 drives 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:

• Self-reliance in taking an issue to closure with internal and external partners.

• Takes ownership of assigned tasks.

• Keen problem solver, strong communicator, quick learner, effective team player and open to learning and teaching new and more efficient validation execution techniques to meet time-to-market.

Master's degree in electrical or computer science, Engineering or related field.

Related coursework/technical experience in/with:

• 10+ months experience with Silicon Design and/or Validation/Verification.

• 10+ months experience with x86 Architecture.

• 10+ months experience with Design and validation experience with global domains (Reset, Clock, Fuse, GPIO, MPP)

Preferred Qualifications:

Knowledge and Experience with:

• Design and/or Design Verification with developing, maintaining, and executing complex IPs and/or SOCs.

• Strong debug skills.

• 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.

• UVM/SV constrained-random coverage-based design verification and Formal Verification methodology.

• Complete verification life cycle (verification architecture, test plan, execution, debug, coverage closure).

• Developing validation test suites and driving continuous improvement into existing validation test suites and methodologies.

• Xeon CPU Pre-Silicon, Emulation Validation or Post Silicon Validation.

• One or more scripting languages to facilitate automation.

Experience would be obtained through a combination of prior education level classes, and current level school classes, projects, research, and relevant previous job and/or internship experience.
