Job Details:Job Description: 

Intel's Central Engineering Group is seeking a Senior Pre-Silicon Verification Engineer specializing in mixed-signal verification to ensure complex analog and digital designs meet specification requirements before fabrication. This role focuses on developing comprehensive verification strategies for digital and mixed-signal IP blocks, creating advanced behavioral models, and executing thorough verification plans that validate functional, performance, and power requirements across Intel's cutting-edge semiconductor designs. 

Key Responsibilities 

Mixed-Signal Verification & Modeling 

  • Perform functional verification of digital and mixed-signal logic components including analog behavioral modeling and advanced verification techniques (UVM, real number modeling, AMS simulation). 
  • Create verification environments that accurately model analog-digital interactions and validate designs across process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations. 

Verification Planning & Environment Development 

  • Develop comprehensive IP verification plans, test benches, and scalable verification environments for mixed-signal microarchitecture specifications. 
  • Build verification frameworks supporting regression testing, continuous integration, and both digital and analog verification flows. 

System Simulation & Debug 

  • Execute verification plans, analyze power/timing/performance metrics, and conduct system-level simulations and corner case analysis. 
  • Replicate, root cause, and debug complex issues in the pre-silicon environment, implementing corrective measures to resolve failing tests. 

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Process Improvement 

  • Collaborate with digital and analog architects, RTL developers, and physical design teams to meet functional, performance, and power goals. 
  • Document test plans, drive technical reviews, and maintain/improve verification infrastructure and methodology while ensuring smooth pre-silicon to post-silicon correlation. 
Qualifications:

The Minimum qualifications are required to be considered for this position. Minimum qualifications listed below would be obtained through a combination of industry relevant job experience, internship experience and / or schoolwork/classes/research. The preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates. 

Minimum Qualifications 

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or in a STEM related field of study. 
  • 5+ years of experience in digital design verification or mixed-signal verification.
  • 3+ years of experience with Pre-Silicon Verification environment architecture and development. 
  • Experience with complex mixed-signal IP verification or system-level verification. 
  • Experience in both digital verification methodologies (UVM/SystemVerilog). 
  • Perl, HTML, Python or similar scripting (Python preferred). 

Preferred Qualifications 

  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or in a STEM related field of study.  
  • Experience with working in mixed-signal design like SerDes or PLLs.
  • Experience with SerDes PHY verification. 
  • Experience driving verification methodology changes and initiatives.
  • Experience with Mixed Signal Verification (MSV). 
  • Experience with Gate Level Simulation (GLS). 
  • Experience with concepts of DFT, ATE, HVM. 

What We Offer 

  • Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package. 
  • Opportunity to work on Intel's most advanced mixed-signal designs and technologies.
  • Access to cutting-edge mixed-signal verification tools and simulation infrastructure. 
  • Collaboration with world-class analog and digital design engineers and architects. 
  • Professional development opportunities in advanced mixed-signal verification techniques. 
  • Direct impact on Intel's leadership in mixed-signal semiconductor innovation.
