Life at Intel The product validation engineer defines and executes validation test methods and test plans for system level test, circuit marginality, and/or product platform validation (PPV) to ensure testability and manufacturability of Intel products. In this role, you will: Drive test planning, execution, data analysis, builds automation and regression scripts, and creates automated verification flows. Understand circuit marginality validation requirements, including process parametric coverage needs within specs, and acts on the marginalities to increase quality such that corrections are put in place to catch the failures. Identify failure suspects with stress tests and performs debug to root cause issue. Diagnose and identifies systems issues and designs and validates solutions for complex problems and looks for improvements. Develop and debugs complex test methods and works with software and integration teams to resolve issues and drive quality at the source. Work with architecture, design, and silicon validation teams, process engineering, and volume manufacturing factories to track post silicon validation efforts and track program readiness. Work with software teams to evaluate integrated system performance and to test and characterize HWSW interaction and device performance at various operating conditions. Develop and executes validation methods and plans for timing and power models for products including FPGA, transceiver, and multichip packages on bench or automatic test equipment. Contribute to the product health indicators (PHI) definition and test whole reduction of defects per million (DPM) for quality. Define ondie thermal requirements including thermal profile characterization. Provides integration and test support and works with developers and other team members to integrate software with existing enterprise services. Defines testing methodologies and solutions to support manufacturing at the platform level. Evaluate, validate, and contribute to new test equipment for platform production and maintains test frameworks and related infrastructure. Create system validation documentation including risk assessments, validation project plans, user acceptance tests, and reports. A highly qualified candidate will exhibit the following behavior traits: Strong platform strategic planning and program management experience along with software experience Demonstrated written and oral communication skills, particularly to an executive audience Skilled at presenting complex information in a simple form. Demonstrated written and oral communication skills, particularly to an executive audience Willingness to thrive in high stress, ambiguous environments, to climb very steep learning curves and rapidly distinguish what is important from what is not important.
