From personal computing and AI to cloud-scale data centers and edge platforms, our processors power technologies that touch billions of lives. If you’re passionate about building world-class silicon at massive scale, we want to build the future with you.
The Team
You’ll join Intel’s All Cores Engineering (ACE) organization, the team responsible for designing and delivering Intel’s industry‑leading CPU cores. Within ACE, the Atom group focuses on high‑efficiency, performance‑per‑watt optimized cores that enable everything from client platforms to emerging edge and scalable solutions.
This is a hands‑on senior engineering role with direct impact on next‑generation CPU silicon.
What You’ll Do
As a Senior CPU Design Verification Engineer you will play a critical role in ensuring architectural correctness, functional robustness, and power‑efficient performance of Intel’s Atom CPU designs before first silicon.
Key responsibilities include but not limited to the following:
Lead pre‑silicon functional verification of complex CPU and SoC logic to ensure full compliance with architectural and microarchitectural specifications.
Develop and execute verification plans, testbenches, and SystemVerilog/UVM environments, ensuring comprehensive functional and coverage closure.
Define, run, and analyze system‑level simulations to uncover functional, performance, power, and corner‑case issues.
Debug and root‑cause complex RTL, microarchitecture, and integration issues; drive issues to resolution with design teams.
Collaborate cross‑functionally with CPU architects, RTL designers, power/performance teams, and physical design engineers to improve design quality and verification effectiveness.
Influence architecture and microarchitecture definitions by providing early verification feedback and identifying design risks.
Maintain, enhance, and scale verification infrastructure, methodologies, and automation.
Document verification strategies, results, and findings; lead technical discussions and design reviews.
Behavioral Traits that we are looking;
Analytical Problem Solver: Approaches complex issues methodically, breaking down ambiguity and driving toward clear, data-driven solutions.
Collaborative Mindset: Thrives in cross-functional environments, builds strong partnerships, and values diverse technical perspectives.
Clear Communicator: Effectively articulates technical concepts, issues, and solutions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Innovation-Oriented: Continuously looks for ways to improve verification efficiency, coverage, and methodology at scale.
Adaptability: Operates effectively in a fast-paced environment with evolving priorities and technologies.
