Senior Design Verification Engineer

Intel Intel · Semiconductors · India · Remote

Senior Design Verification Engineer for Intel's Silicon Chassis team, responsible for owning verification of interconnect and chassis IP blocks. Requires expertise in verification planning, environment development, collaboration with cross-functional teams, and debugging. Experience with AI-assisted development tools is mentioned as part of the daily workflow.

What you'd actually do

  1. Own verification planning and execution for assigned IP blocks and features at IP and subsystem level; drive test plans through coverage closure with direct accountability for quality.
  2. Build scalable verification environments with reusable testbenches, checkers, constrained-random tests, and debug infrastructure; take ownership of the verification collateral you deliver.
  3. Collaborate closely with architecture, design, and software teams on spec reviews, feature clarification, bug triage, and closure; contribute outside strict DV boundaries when needed to unblock progress.
  4. Analyze simulation failures, root-cause issues quickly, and drive fixes to closure with clear technical communication; own debug for your blocks end-to-end.
  5. Drive functional coverage planning and coverage closure for assigned blocks; contribute to quality signoff with increasing independence.
