The Role and Impact:

• As a SoC Functional Validation Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the success of Intel's innovative silicon solutions. Your contributions will directly impact the quality and reliability of Intel's So Cs, which power cutting-edge technologies across diverse industries. You will work at the intersection of hardware and software, validating system-on-chip (SoC) designs, optimizing performance, and delivering exceptional products to meet the demands of our global customers. You'll work in close collaboration with architects, microarchitects, RTL developers, and cross-functional teams to deliver industry-leading SoC solutions. This position offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of Intel's SoC technologies while collaborating with some of the brightest minds in the industry.

Key Responsibilities:

• Define, develop, and perform functional validation for integrated So Cs, focusing on IP integration and system-level features.

• Develop and execute pre-silicon functional validation strategies, including scalable and reusable block, subsystem, and SoC verification plans.

• Perform system simulation and emulation to validate power, performance, and design functionality, identifying and resolving bugs in collaboration with RTL and architecture teams.

• Conduct in-depth debugging and root cause analysis of pre-silicon issues, implementing corrective measures to enhance design quality.

• Develop and execute comprehensive validation test plans to ensure SoC readiness.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including architecture, design, verification, and manufacturing, to optimize SoC designs and resolve validation challenges.

• Perform silicon debug to identify root causes of functional failures, triage issues, and drive resolutions.

• Test interactions between various SoC features using validation infrastructure and advanced methodologies.

• Develop and enhance post-silicon validation infrastructure, including performance monitors, state space coverage tools, and testing environments.

• Absorb learnings from post-silicon validation and continuously refine test plans to address any gaps, driving improvements for future products.

• Publish detailed SoC validation reports and communicate findings to relevant teams.

• Contribute to the development and improvement of debug and validation processes, methodologies, and strategies.

Qualifications:

Minimum Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

• 3+ years of experience in SoC validation with a Bachelor's degree, or 2+ years with a Master's degree, or 0 years with a PhD.

• Proficiency in programming languages such as C, C++, or Python.

• Expertise in functional validation and debug processes for So Cs.

• Experience with post-silicon validation and debug flows.

• Familiarity with debugging tools and techniques.

• Solid understanding of system architecture and SoC microarchitecture.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot complex SoC validation issues.

• Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with a track record of working effectively in multidisciplinary teams.

• Demonstrated ability to innovate and drive process improvements in SoC validation methodologies.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional and cross-site teams.

• Excellent communication skills to clearly articulate validation strategies, findings, and solutions to diverse stakeholders.

• Passion for learning and staying updated on the latest trends and advancements in SoC technologies.
