IP Design Verification Engineer

Job Description

The Foundational Security team (FST) is looking for logic validation engineers keen to work on a scalable IP design. Candidate will be responsible for the validation of new IP roadmap features as part of FST's HW IP developing HW security for various market segments across Intel.

As a member of the team, the candidate would be responsible for driving scalable IP development while also making the Design Integration and SOC delivery a fully automated solution. Candidate will be part of an IP team working closely with other verification engineers, RTL design engineers, micro-architects, and other team members in determining the proper implementation strategy for new design, ensure quality of design, and develop test-plans, verification environment, and drive delivery to SoC. They will have an opportunity to learn and contribute towards making Intel Hardware more secure

Performs functional verification of IP logic to ensure design will meet specification requirements. Develops IP verification plans, test benches, and the verification environment to ensure coverage to confirm to microarchitecture specifications. Executes verification plans and defines and runs system simulation models to verify the design, analyze power and timing, and uncover bugs. Replicates, root causes, and debugs issues in the presilicon environment. Finds and implements corrective measures to resolve failing tests. Collaborates with architects, RTL developers, and physical design teams to improve verification of complex architectural and microarchitectural features. Documents test plans and drives technical reviews of plans and proofs with design and architecture teams. Maintains and improves existing functional verification infrastructure and methodology. Participates in the definition of verification infrastructure and related TFMs needed for functional design verification.

Excellent communication and organization skills are critical, along with teamwork, and must demonstrate strong technical skills, along with having passion for design or validation.
