What You Will Do:

You will be able to work in a variety of different validation disciplines in high-speed IO technologies. Your daily activities can include test content development, test automation developments to expedite execution with quality and efficiency, use of standard lab equipment for validation measurements and characterization, and interaction with cross-functional teams to provide health assessment resulting from validation execution.

You will be responsible for, but 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.

Applies 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 resolves 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.

Develops 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.
