About This Role

  • Do Something Wonderful!Intel put Silicon in Silicon Valley.
  • No one else is obsessed with engineering and have 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.
  • Who We Are We are working on the CPU design in Folsom.
  • The team in Folsom has the frontend team working on ucode, RTL and validation.
  • We also have a backend team working on circuit design, structural design, low power design.
  • Finally, we have a backend integration working on full-chip timing, layout and design integration.
  • Who You Are Responsibilities include but are not 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.
  • Apply 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 resolve 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.
  • Develop 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.
