This role is part of Intel's CPU team, focusing on the functional verification of CPU logic to ensure design specifications are met. The team is dedicated to semiconductor innovation and works on next-generation CPUs that power various technologies. The position involves collaboration with architects and developers to enhance verification processes. Candidates will lead small teams and contribute to the development of cutting-edge technology.

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or related field with 8+ years of relevant experience, or a Master's with 7+ years, or a PhD with 4+ years.
• Experience in Design Verification and Validation methodologies with UVM, System Verilog, and industry standard EDA tools.
• Experience in digital logic design, including instruction set execution, ALUs, control units, registers, memory, and system buses.
• Experience in developing UVM-based testbenches for reusable and scalable verification environments.
• Experience in at least one scripting language (e.g., Python, Perl, bash), C/C++, and System Verilog.

• Lead, drive, develop and execute functional verification of CPU logic to ensure design will meet specifications.
• Develop IP verification plans, test benches, and the verification environment to ensure coverage meets CPU microarchitecture specifications.
• Execute verification plans and define and run system simulation models to verify the design, analyze power and timing, and uncover bugs.
• Replicate, root cause, and debug issues in the pre-silicon environment.
• Find and implement corrective measures to resolve failing tests.
• Collaborate with CPU architects, RTL developers, and physical design teams to improve verification of complex architectural and microarchitectural features.
• Document test plans and drive technical reviews of plans and proofs with design and architecture teams.
• Maintain and improve existing functional verification infrastructure and methodology.
• Participate in the definition of architecture and microarchitecture features of the CPU being designed actively.

• Intel offers a comprehensive benefits package including competitive pay, stock programs, healthcare coverage, retirement plans, paid time off, parental leave, and programs supporting employee wellbeing and professional development.
