Pre-Silicon Verification Engineer
Job Description
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.
The Advanced Architecture Development Group (AADG - GDC) is a CPU Core development team in Guadalajara, Mexico. 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 welcome you to join us, to do something wonderful.
The focus of this role is to be part of a team of pre-silicon verification engineers to verify new and existing features for Intel's next generation CPU IP resulting in bug free final design. You will be responsible for exhaustively validating the RTL implementation of new architecture and microarchitecture capabilities using a combination of standalone and top level test environments as well as formal verification.
Role responsibilities include although not limited to:
Technical ownership of verification of a microarchitecture block methodology or otherwise significant aspect of CPU validation
Collaborate with architects hardware engineers and microcode engineers to understand the new features being implemented
Read and interpret technical specs and create high quality technical documentation like test plans strategy documents and coverage plans
Plan and implement the UVM/OVM testbench functional coverage model and assertions
Developing validation content like tools test generators to match the complexity of new cores and be reused in pre-si and post-si
Participate in debugging failing verification tests to determine if the root cause is an error in the RTL verification model or the test
Plan and Implement CPU IP features in C++ based reference models
Fix all identified failures in the verification model Investigating new techniques to accelerate validation of CPU hardware
Behavioral traits desired for the position include
Analytical thinker with problem-solving skills and excellent attention to detail
