Job Description:

If you're interested in computer graphics and working with leading graphics hardware engineers on Intel's latest GPU/CPU architecture, then our GPU Hardware IP (GHI) has an opportunity for you. We are looking for a Graphics Design/Verification Engineer to join our team. In this position, you will be playing a key role in the pre-silicon design and validation of Intel's leading-edge graphics CPU and discrete products. In this position, the candidate will be responsible for familiarizing themselves with the existing design and verification methodologies of Intel's GPUs sub IPs, developing efficient verification methodologies, executing the validation plan, and debugging issues seen during different validation phases.

Responsibilities will include but are not limited to:

• Performing functional verification of graphics logic components, including 3D graphics, media, and display, to ensure design will meet specification requirements.
• Defining and developing scalable and reusable IP verification plans, test benches, and architecture for verification environment to ensure coverage to confirm to graphics microarchitecture specifications.
• Executing verification plans and defining and running system simulation models to verify the design, analyze power and timing, and uncover bugs.
• Replicating, root causing, and debugging issues in the presilicon environment.
• Finding and implementing corrective measures to resolve failing tests.
• Collaborating with GPU architects, RTL developers, and physical design teams to improve verification of complex architectural and microarchitectural features and to meet functional, performance, and power goals.
• Documenting test plans and driving technical reviews of plans and proofs with design and architecture teams.
• Maintaining and improving existing functional verification infrastructure and methodology.
• Participating in the definition of verification infrastructure and related TFMs needed for functional design verification.
