Senior CPU Verification Engineer

Intel put Silicon in Silicon Valley. No one else is obsessed with engineering and has a brighter future. Every day, we create world changing technology that enriches the lives of every person on earth.

So, if you have a big idea, let's do something wonderful together. Join us, because at Intel, we are building a better tomorrow.

We are seeking a highly motivated senior CPU verification engineer to join our design team. In this role, you will be responsible for driving and executing the functional correctness of CPU logic designs through rigorous pre-silicon verification methodologies.

- Lead, drive, develop and execute comprehensive verification plans to validate CPU logic against architectural specifications.

- Able to build scalable UVM-based testbenches from 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; 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.

- Excellent analytical and debugging skills, with a creative approach to problem-solving.

- Ability to define and implement validation strategies based on architectural and design insights.

You must possess the minimum education requirements and minimum required qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Additional preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.
