Job description

The CPU verification engineer role at Intel focuses on ensuring the functional correctness of CPU logic designs through rigorous pre-silicon verification methodologies. The team is dedicated to creating world-changing technology that enhances lives globally. The engineer will work closely with CPU architects and RTL designers to validate complex features and contribute to the refinement of CPU architecture. This position requires a proactive approach to debugging and implementing corrective actions in a collaborative environment.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a STEM related field with 1+ years of relevant experience, or a Master's Degree in a related field.
  • 1+ years of experience developing SystemVerilog in UVM-based test-benches for reusable and scalable verification environments.
  • 1+ years of experience in a scripting language such as Python or Perl and C++.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute comprehensive verification plans to validate CPU logic against architectural specifications.
  • Build scalable UVM-based testbenches and define robust functional coverage models.
  • Run system-level simulations to uncover design bugs and ensure functional integrity.
  • Debug and root-cause issues in the pre-silicon environment and implement corrective actions to resolve test failures.
  • Collaborate closely with CPU architects and RTL designers to verify complex architectural and microarchitectural features.
  • Document verification strategies and lead technical reviews with design and architecture teams.
  • Maintain and enhance existing verification infrastructure and methodologies.
  • Contribute to the definition and refinement of CPU architecture and microarchitecture features.

Benefits

  • 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.
