GPU Validation Engineer

Intel Intel · Semiconductors · California, Folsom, United States +1

This role is for a GPU Design Verification Engineer at Intel, focusing on ensuring the quality of advanced graphics solutions, including those for AI-based graphics products. The engineer will perform functional verification, develop test benches, debug issues, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to meet functional, performance, and power goals. The role requires a Bachelor's or Master's degree with significant experience in silicon design development, validation methodologies, and simulation/emulation debugging, along with proficiency in C/C++/Python and SystemVerilog.

What you'd actually do

  1. Perform functional verification of graphics logic components, including 3D graphics, media, and display, ensuring designs meet specification requirements.
  2. Develop scalable and reusable IP verification plans and test benches to confirm graphics microarchitecture specifications.
  3. Define and execute verification plans, running system simulation models to identify bugs, analyze power and timing, and verify design functionality.
  4. Replicate, root cause, and debug issues in pre-silicon environments while implementing corrective measures to resolve failing tests.
  5. Collaborate with GPU architects, RTL developers, and physical design teams to enhance verification processes, meeting functional, performance, and power goals.
