Job Description:
This position requires candidates to upload a resume in English; you are welcome to upload multiple versions of your resume if you prefer but an English version of your resume will be required to be considered for this position.
In this role, you will work on validating high speed interconnections and protocols at cutting‑edge speeds that enable the next generation of Data Centers and 5G Base Stations.
You will join one of the most inclusive and collaborative work environments in the industry, working alongside highly skilled engineers to solve complex system‑level challenges and ensure Intel products meet stringent quality and performance metrics.
Key Responsibilities
Execution and tracking of electrical validation test plans defined in validation strategies of the Analog Front End (AFE) and end‑to‑end interconnections across silicon designs.
Perform test setups and configurations across interfaces such as HSIO (UCIe, PCIe) & Networking (Eth, CPRI) & Mem (DDR5, LPDDR5x). Across link speeds ranging from: 1G, 2.5G, 10G, 25G, and up to 100G, including NRZ and PAM4 signaling.
Validate conformance to industry standards and Intel specifications, supporting both single‑protocol and multi‑protocol implementations.
Apply Intel‑developed validation disciplines, including:
- Signal Integrity (SI) Validation
- System Marginality Validation
- Interoperability methodologies and processes
Develop debug documentation with lab experiences during execution and system issues resolution.
Investigate and support resolution of complex issues involving hardware, BIOS, firmware, and operating system interactions.
Collaborate with core team and support requests by translating validation results/findings into actionable execution solutions.
Behavioral Traits
- Strong Quality & Results Orientation: Demonstrates a deep commitment to delivering high‑quality electrical validation results that meet or exceed Intel and industry standards.
- Analytical & Structured Problem Solver: Approaches complex electrical and system‑level issues using data‑driven analysis, structured debug methodologies, and statistical modeling.
- Hands‑On Engineering Mindset: Enjoys working directly in lab environments, executing electrical validation, signal integrity measurements, and system marginality testing.
- Systems‑Level Thinking: Understands interactions across silicon, AFE, platform, and software layers, enabling effective resolution of end‑to‑end link performance issues.
- Curiosity & Continuous Learning: Stays engaged with evolving high-speed standards, signaling technologies (NRZ, PAM4), and next‑generation data center and 5G requirements.
- Collaborative Team Player: Works effectively across hardware, BIOS, firmware, operating system, and software teams to resolve issues and deliver robust solutions.
- Clear & Effective Communicator: Communicates technical findings clearly through documentation, data presentations, and cross‑team discussions, translating complex data into actionable insights.
- Resilient & Persistent: Maintains focus and momentum when debugging difficult or intermittent issues, showing perseverance until root cause and resolution are achieved.
- Customer‑Focused Mindset: Considers both internal and external customer needs, ensuring validation outcomes translate into reliable, interoperable, and high‑performing products.
- Process & Methodology Driven: Follows established validation methodologies while actively identifying opportunities to improve processes, coverage, and efficiency.
Qualifications:
Minimum qualifications are required to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.
