Life at Intel Intel Global Diversity and Inclusion WHO WE ARE Platform Enabling is the leading edge of all new platform driver development across integrated and discrete graphics. Development is not limited to a specific area of functionality in the driver - a successful Platform Enabling engineer will need to be able to work across all areas of the graphics driver functionality (Display, Core/MM, SRIOV, GuC/PnP, Media, etc.) to adapt existing driver functionality to HW changes in upcoming platforms. Platform Enabling is the front line of Linux Graphics SW Power On execution for all platforms both client side and server side. Platform Enabling works across all phases of a program, responsible for initial pre-silicon (simulation and emulation) bring-up of the driver, to first silicon Power On execution, to post-silicon development and bug fixing on HW. A successful Platform Enabling engineer will need to be comfortable working on the internal driver to meet needs across pre-silicon and early HW enabling for Intel internal partners business units and external Intel partners, as well as being comfortable working directly with the upstream community and maintainers to upstream new platform patches and coordinate implementation of significant driver changes. This position is not eligible for Intel immigration sponsorship.
