GPU Design Verification Engineer

Intel•Folsom, CA

1d•Hybrid

About The Position

Performs functional verification of graphics logic components, including 3D graphics, media, and display, to ensure designs meet specification requirements. Develops scalable and reusable IP verification plans, test benches, and verification-environment architecture to provide coverage against graphics microarchitecture specifications. Executes verification plans and runs system simulation models to verify designs, analyze power and timing, and uncover bugs. Replicates, diagnoses, and debugs issues in the presilicon environment, and implements corrective measures to resolve failing tests. The engineer collaborates with GPU architects, RTL developers, and physical design teams to improve verification of complex architectural and microarchitectural features and support functional, performance, and power goals. The role documents test plans, leads technical reviews of plans and proofs with design and architecture teams, maintains and improves functional verification infrastructure and methodology, and participates in defining verification infrastructure and related TFMs for functional design verification.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electronics, Computer Engineering, or a related engineering field and 4+ years of experience in silicon design development; or a master's degree in one of these fields and 3+ years of experience in silicon design development.
Experience bringing up IP-level test benches.
Strong programming skills in SystemVerilog and UVM.
Hands-on verification experience with ASIC, CPU, or GPU.
IP-level test plan development experience, including coverage closure.
Experience developing coverage-driven verification test benches, functional models, and tests.

Nice To Haves

Understanding of graphics architecture.
Experience with industry-standard front-end design and verification flows, tools, and methodology.
Experience with shell, Perl, or Python scripting.
