About Us:
The Core Engineering Group develops Intel's main and most valuable complex IP: the Core. It is the central part of many Intel's products: Desktops, Notebooks, Servers, Cloud CPUs and more. Our CORE is in the heart of hundreds of millions of products being sold every year, and is driving the internet, networking industry, cloud compute, communications, consumers and more.
About the Job:
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. 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.
