Senior Cpu Verification Engineer

Intel Intel · Semiconductors · Texas, Austin, United States +1

Senior CPU Verification Engineer responsible for ensuring the functional correctness of CPU logic designs through pre-silicon verification methodologies, including developing UVM-based testbenches, running simulations, debugging issues, and collaborating with architects and designers.

What you'd actually do

  1. Lead, drive, develop and execute comprehensive verification plans to validate CPU logic against architectural specifications.
  2. Able to build scalable UVM-based testbenches from and define robust functional coverage models.
  3. Run system-level simulations to uncover design bugs and ensure functional integrity.
  4. Debug and root-cause issues in the pre-silicon environment; implement corrective actions to resolve test failures.
  5. Collaborate closely with CPU architects and RTL designers to verify complex architectural and microarchitectural features.
