Job Description:

The world is transforming - and so is Intel. Intel is a company of bold and curious inventors and problem solvers who create some of the most astounding technology advancements and experiences in the world. With a legacy of relentless innovation and a commitment to bring smart, connected devices to every person on Earth, our diverse and brilliant teams are continually searching for tomorrow's technology and revel in the challenge that changing the world for the better brings. We work every single day to design and manufacture silicon products that empower people's digital lives. Come join us and do something wonderful.

The Opportunity:
For nearly a decade, Intel's Neuromorphic Computing Lab-together with a global ecosystem of 250+ research groups-has explored architectures, algorithms, and software inspired by the brain's extraordinary efficiency, scalability, and adaptability. Our Loihi series of research chips pioneered event-driven, sparse, and massively parallel neuro-inspired processing, fueling over 100 peer-reviewed publications that validate the promise of this novel approach.
Now, we're entering an exciting new chapter: transforming these breakthroughs into real-world products that will power the coming era of physical AI systems-beyond the reach of GPUs and mainstream AI accelerators.
If you are passionate about pushing the boundaries of computing, from transistor-level innovation to software abstractions, join us. Help define the next wave of AI technology that harnesses the proven advantages of Intel's neuromorphic computing technology with the versatility demanded by modern AI workloads.

Position Overview:
We are growing our silicon team, seeking an experienced pre-silicon verification engineer passionate about innovation at the intersection between emerging semiconductor technology and novel computing paradigms.

An openness to learning new technologies and methodologies, such as asynchronous design and AI automation, is essential.

Responsibilities:

• Creating unit-level and system-level test plans.
• Write directed and random tests for design partitions and chip-level.
• Debugging test failures, tracking coverage and working with designers to fix failures and improve coverage.
• Maintaining assertions, scoreboards and any tools/flows that are developed.

Qualifications:

You must possess the below minimum qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates. Experience listed below would be obtained through a combination of your degree, research and or relevant previous job and or internship experiences.

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelors and 8+ years OR Masters and 6+ years of silicon engineering experience.
• 5+ years of verification experience in SoC accelerators or custom ASIC designs.
• 5+ years of experience in UVM/OVM and constrained random verification methods.
• 2+ years of experience owning the entire verification stack including test planning, test development, coverage tracking, and interfacing with emulation models.
• 1+ year of experience using AI tools for test generation, debugging and improving overall productivity.

Preferred qualifications:

• Experienced in neuromorphic computing or AI/ML accelerator design.
• Experience with commercial Verification IPs for standard IO interfaces, PHYs, and protocols such as Ethernet, PCIE, MACsec/IPsec, RoCEv2, MIPI CSI-2, JESD204.
