Ip Enabling Engineer

Intel Intel · Semiconductors · Bangalore, India

Intel's Hard IP Development Group is seeking an IP Enabling Engineer to join their IO Post Silicon validation debug team. This role involves pre-silicon to post-silicon IP characterization, test plan generation using AI driven tools and Python scripting, SOC board design reviews, and Signal/Power Integrity simulations. The engineer will provide hands-on debug support, identify and resolve IP-related silicon issues, and work closely with SOC customers and IP design teams.

What you'd actually do

  1. Work closely with SOC customers and IP design teams to provide pre silicon to post silicon IP design characterizations, generating test plans and test contents using AI driven tools and pythonSV scripting, SOC board design reviews and recommendations, Signal and Power Integrity simulations and post silicon debugs etc.
  2. Represent the IP team during SOC Power Ons for test chips and products and provide hands on IP enabling support
  3. Identify IP related silicon issues, investigate, debug and disposition customer bugs/sightings in a timely manner.

Skills

Required

  • BS or MS or PhD in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering or a Related Field
  • 3+ years of experience in Electrical or Functional Post Silicon validation and debug with either serial IOs (PCIe, USB, SATA, TypeC, Ethernet) or parallel IOs (DDR, LPDDR, UCIe Die2Die)
  • Proficient in using Oscilloscopes, Logic Analyzers, Protocol analyzers and BERTs
  • Familiarity with at least one or more industry standard IO specifications like DDR, LPDDR, PCIE, USB, USB TypeC, Die2Die, Ethernet, etc.

Nice to have
