Power Instrumentation Engineer

Intel•Us, CA

4d•Onsite

About The Position

As a System Power and Perf Engineer, you will be responsible for measurements and analysis of OEM in-chassis notebook products at the silicon/SoC level and platform level on both Intel and competitor platforms. The role will be a mix of both competitive analysis as well as helping improve Intel platforms. Based on your technical knowledge and analysis of both Intel and the competition, your data will help influence OEM customers, internal marketing teams, internal engineering teams, debug silicon/platform on PnP issues, and be an integral part for Intel product launches. This role is for Santa Clara on-site everyday (no remote/no hybrid option).

Requirements

Bachelor's/Master's (BS/MS) in Computer Engineering / Electrical Engineering / Computer Science or relevant experience.
Understanding of power measurement/instrumentation methodologies and concepts.
1 year of basic soldering experience.

Nice To Haves
