Senior Design Verification Engineer

Intel Intel · Semiconductors · California, Santa Clara, United States

Senior Design Verification Engineer for Intel's Silicon Chassis team, responsible for end-to-end verification of chassis and interconnect IP blocks. Requires expertise in DV methodologies, protocol verification, memory subsystems, and collaboration with cross-functional teams. The role involves driving quality, testbench architecture, and coverage closure, with an emphasis on adopting emerging methodologies like ML-driven verification flows and AI-assisted development tools.

What you'd actually do

  1. Own verification planning and execution for key IP features across IP and subsystem integration points
  2. Build scalable verification environments and targeted test plans with reusable test benches, checkers, VIPs, and behavioral models
  3. Collaborate closely with architecture, design, and software teams from specification through bringup; contribute across role boundaries when needed to unblock progress and maintain execution quality
  4. Drive ownership of multiple critical blocks and verification components; take full responsibility for functional signoffs and achievement of performance and power metrics
  5. Lead IP delivery to multiple customers while ensuring technical excellence; balance competing requirements, schedules, and resources across teams

Skills

Required

  • 10+ years of experience in design verification (DV); with extensive background in IP DV, and subsystem and SoC-level verification
  • Experience in interconnects, caches, and memory subsystems, including multiple bus protocols such as AMBA (CHI, ACE, AXI), PCIe, UCIe, and CXL; cache coherency and memory consistency models
  • Experience in verification of global functions including debug, trace, clock and power management, RAS, QoS, and security feature
  • Experience in simulation and formal verification methodologies including UVM, SVA, ABV, and co-simulation; proficiency in low-power verification techniques, HDL/verification languages, and industry-standard EDA tools
  • Hands-on coding experience across SystemVerilog/UVM, C/C++, Python, and build systems
  • Experience working with RTL, physical design, and CAD tool flows; contribute outside core DV responsibilities as needed.

Nice to have

  • Post graduate degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or in a STEM related field
  • Experience with formal verification tools (JasperGold, VC Formal, or similar) and emulation or FPGA-based verification; track record of combining formal and simulation for unified bug closure
  • Prior work with system IPs such as MMUs (SMMU or IOMMU) and interrupt controllers, and working knowledge of the associated software stacks

What the JD emphasized

  • track record of delivering high-quality silicon on schedule
  • track record of delivering reusable, configurable verification collateral
