Job Description

Role and Responsibilities:

The world is transforming - and so is Intel. Here at Intel, we believe the world needs technology that can enrich the lives of every person on Earth. We believe that developing these technologies takes a team of exceptionally talented individuals who work together to visualize, innovate, and make the future of computing possible. If you are excited about advanced development of breakthrough technologies for future-generation CPU cores, we invite you to join us to do something wonderful.

Responsibilities for this Pre-Silicon Validation Engineer may include, but may not be limited to:

• Defines, develops, and performs functional validation for CPUs, focusing on validation of the CPU internals and CPU integration in system level features for Intel performance and power efficient cores.

• Applies various hardware and software level tools and techniques to ensure validation coverage and that performance, power, and area goals are met.

• Reviews proposed design changes to assess impact on validation plans, tasks, and timelines.

• Develops CPU validation methodologies and test plans, executes validation plans, and collaborates with other engineers for design optimization, troubleshooting, and failure analysis.

• Applies knowledge of CPU core architecture, processor microarchitecture, and design.

• Performs silicon debug to identify root causes and resolves all functional and triage failures for CPU issues.

• Tests interactions between various CPU features using validation infrastructure.

• Develops post-silicon validation infrastructure (e.g., performance monitors, behavioral checkers, state space coverage) and test environment used in validation testing.

• Publishes CPU validation reports summarizing all validation activities performed, reviews results, and communicates to relevant teams.

• Works with architecture, design, verification, board, platform, and manufacturing teams to maintain and improve debug, validation test strategy, methodologies, and processes for CPU interfaces and to meet desired product specifications.

• Develops content to create or increase specific IP interactions using a variety of tools and techniques (including patching techniques using microcode, firmware, or custom OS builds).

• Engages in all phases of the product life cycle, develops, and validates content and infrastructure, and bug hunts in multiple environments (simulation, emulation, FPGAs) to ensure silicon readiness.
