This position offers the opportunity to influence future Intel products while expanding technical leadership and validation expertise.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree with 6+ years of experience, Master's degree with 4+ years, or PhD with 2+ years in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
- 10+ years of experience in pre-silicon validation, functional validation, design verification, or silicon validation.
- Strong understanding of digital design fundamentals, computer architecture, and SoC design concepts.
- Strong knowledge of SystemVerilog and UVM-based validation methodologies.
- Experience with simulation or emulation environments, debugging, and root-cause analysis skills.
- Knowledge in Python, Perl, Shell, or similar scripting languages.
Responsibilities
- Develop and execute comprehensive validation plans to ensure power management features meet architectural and functional specifications.
- Design, develop, and maintain validation environments, automated test content, and debug infrastructure for power management validation.
- Validate critical power management features including Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS), Power Gating, and Clock Gating.
- Develop validation content and infrastructure using industry-standard methodologies and tools such as SystemVerilog and UVM.
- Execute simulation and emulation workloads to validate design functionality and identify issues early in the product development cycle.
- Analyze validation results, coverage metrics, and performance data to improve design quality and validation effectiveness.
- Drive root cause analysis, debug, and resolution of complex design issues in collaboration with architecture, RTL design, and verification teams.
- Develop and maintain automation frameworks, regression environments, dashboards, and data analysis tools to improve validation efficiency and coverage.
- Review architecture specifications and design changes to assess validation impact and ensure comprehensive feature coverage.
- Contribute to validation methodology improvements and best practices across multiple product generations.
- Mentor junior engineers and provide technical leadership on complex validation and debug challenges.
