Senior Design Verification Engineer

Intel Intel · Semiconductors · Bangalore, India

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. The role involves using AI-assisted development tools.

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.
