Senior Pre-Silicon Verification Engineer

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:

SPECIAL NOTE - Intel is in the process of securing office space in the greater metropolitan area of Toronto, Ontario. This office will serve as your assigned work location in the future. Once the site is operational, your position will follow Intel’s hybrid work model, which currently requires on-site presence at least four days per week.

• 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
