About the Role

This is a hands-on senior engineering role with direct impact on next-generation CPU silicon. You will play a critical role in ensuring architectural correctness, functional robustness, and power-efficient performance of Intel’s Atom CPU designs before first silicon.

Responsibilities

• Lead pre-silicon functional verification of complex CPU and SoC logic to ensure full compliance with architectural and microarchitectural specifications.
• Develop and execute verification plans, testbenches, and SystemVerilog/UVM environments, ensuring comprehensive functional and coverage closure.
• Define, run, and analyze system-level simulations to uncover functional, performance, power, and corner-case issues.
• Debug and root-cause complex RTL, microarchitecture, and integration issues; drive issues to resolution with design teams.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with CPU architects, RTL designers, power/performance teams, and physical design engineers to improve design quality and verification effectiveness.
• Influence architecture and microarchitecture definitions by providing early verification feedback and identifying design risks.
• Maintain, enhance, and scale verification infrastructure, methodologies, and automation.
• Document verification strategies, results, and findings; lead technical discussions and design reviews.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field with 4+ years of relevant experience, OR a Master’s degree with 2+ years of relevant experience.
