Pre-silicon Verification Engineer (ai Accelerator)

Intel Intel · Semiconductors · Leixlip, Ireland

This role focuses on the pre-silicon verification of NPU AI accelerator products, involving the development of verification environments, test plans, and test cases using System Verilog Assertions (SVA) and formal verification methodologies. The primary deliverable is the validated design of AI accelerator components before they are manufactured.

What you'd actually do

  1. Functional and/or Formal Verification of complex digital design block(s) on the latest generations of Intel's NPU AI accelerators.
  2. Development and implementation of verification environments from initial planning through the validation lifecycle to review and signoff.
  3. Development of test plans and test cases
  4. Implementation of random test generators, high level transactional models, bus functional models (BFMs), functional/formal constraints, checkers and scoreboards, coverpoints/covergroups and SVA properties
