Senior SoC Validation Engineer

Senior SoC Validation Engineer

As a senior member of the High Speed Serial IO design team in Intel's Server CPU Development Group.

You will be responsible for:

• Validation in one of the Serial IO focused clusters for next generation server CPUs.

• Design target high frequencies.

• Require a tightly coupled interface to the backbone of complex blocks within the uncore sub-system as well as to the analog front end.

• Chip in to definition of the validation flows, proposing creative solutions for logic block validation.

• Work with circuit designers to support AMS validation.

Your responsibilities will include, but not be limited to:

• Authoring validation plans

• Define the needs of tools and methodology to ensure high quality Silicon, coding validation test cases using UVM/OVM techniques

• Chip in to functional and performance validation

You will also be involved with test bench creation, participating in silicon debug, and leading a small team of engineers in many of the above activities.

You would also work in a very collaborative environment and would have to work well with engineers from other design disciplines and from peer projects across sites.
