About the Role

Join Intel's Silicon Engineering Group as a CPU Design Verification Engineer, where you will play a pivotal role in shaping the next generation of high-performance, power-efficient processors. You will contribute to verifying and validating cutting-edge CPU architectures that power millions of devices worldwide. This role offers an exciting opportunity to tackle deep technical challenges, influence industry-leading technologies, and contribute to products that impact billions of users globally.

Responsibilities

Develop and execute comprehensive verification plans to validate CPU logic against architectural and microarchitectural specifications.
Create scalable verification environments, including UVM-based testbenches and functional coverage models.
Perform functional coverage analysis, identify verification gaps, and implement strategies to close them.
Run system-level simulations to validate functionality, power, and timing, uncovering bugs and ensuring design robustness.
Debug and root-cause issues in pre-silicon environments and implement corrective measures to resolve test failures.
Collaborate closely with CPU architects, RTL developers, and physical design teams to verify complex architectural and microarchitectural features.
Maintain and enhance verification infrastructure, methodologies, and automation flows to optimize workflows and throughput.
Develop scripts and automation tools using Python, Perl, C++, or similar languages to improve verification processes.
Document verification strategies and drive technical reviews with cross-functional stakeholders.
Contribute to the definition and refinement of CPU architecture and microarchitecture features to meet functional, performance, and power goals.

Requirements

Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering or in a STEM related field of study with 1+ years of relevant experience OR Master’s Degree in Electrical Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering or in a STEM related field of study.
1+ years of experience in modeling languages such as Verilog, VHDL, or SystemVerilog, and industry-standard simulation tools.
1+ years of experience developing UVM-based testbenches for reusable and scalable verification environments.
1+ years of experience in scripting language i.e. Python or Perl and C++.
