Job Description:
Come join Intel's Design Development Group organization as an SOC Validation engineering focused on Design for Debug (DFD) and Design for Test ( DFT ).
As a member of the product team, you will work firsthand with multi-function teams/sites, implementing and validating state-of-the-art debug solutions appropriate for new and existing technology in the product. In this role you will be working as part of a pre-silicon validation team for future Intel SoCs or IPs, focusing on debug validation. You will be working with pre-silicon and post -silicon validation teams to improve debug features and tools suites. You will also work closely with post-silicon validation SW teams on debug tool validation and silicon enabling. You will be pioneering new debug tools and flows, reviewing and publishing architectural specs and supporting next-generation silicon enabling on system platforms.
Your responsibilities will include but not be limited to:
- Validation of Design for Debug features (e.g. low and high-bandwidth signal tracing and event triggering) using simulation, emulation, and/or FPGA
- Validation of Design for Test features like TAP, SCAN and so on.
- Knowledge on Tessent tools will be a plus
- Development of testcases in Python for Emulation platform
- Post-si support
- Creating test plans and tests for validating portions of a complex microarchitecture using written specs, RTL code and other tests as a guide
- Learning the Power Management, Memory and SoC debug architecture and microarchitecture by debugging failures to the root cause
- Developing and utilizing various debug and validation tools and/or methodologies to implement validation plans with the goal being to ensure a solid design
- Participating in the debug of failures on silicon and developing new testing strategies to detect these failures on RTL models
- Developing debugging tools and software
Qualifications:
Minimum Qualifications:
Candidate must have either a BS or MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering.
- Extensive Pre-silicon and Post-silicon Track record of driving debug tools enabling and validation, improvements and getting them adopted by others
- Proven record of working across validation teams to solve problems
- Expert of HW and SW Interaction and debug to root cause
- Experience working across validation, architecture, SW, design teams and Post-Si to resolve debug issues
- Minimum 4 yrs experience with DFD/DFT
- Minimum 8 yrs experience with writing validation plans and software to implement those validation plans
- Minimum 4 yrs experience with Programming languages/Scripting: C, Python, Verilog and System Verilog
- Minimum 4 yrs experience with computer architecture
Preferred Qualifications:
- 4yrs+ experience with Design for Debug/Design for Test
- 4yrs+ experience with validation or testing experience
- 3yrs+ experience with industry standards such as ATB, Core sight, JTAG
- Experience with Tessent tool would be a plus
- 2+ experience in Emulation and Post-Si support
