About The Position

Intel's Central Engineering Group is seeking a Senior Pre-Silicon Verification Engineer specializing in mixed-signal verification to ensure complex analog and digital designs meet specification requirements before fabrication. This role focuses on developing comprehensive verification strategies for digital and mixed-signal IP blocks, creating advanced behavioral models, and executing thorough verification plans that validate functional, performance, and power requirements across Intel's cutting-edge semiconductor designs.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or in a STEM related field of study.
• 5+ years of experience in digital design verification or mixed-signal verification.
• 3+ years of experience with Pre-Silicon Verification environment architecture and development.
• Experience with complex mixed-signal IP verification or system-level verification.
• Experience in both digital verification methodologies (UVM/SystemVerilog).
• Perl, HTML, Python or similar scripting (Python preferred).

Nice To Haves

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or in a STEM related field of study.
• Experience with working in mixed-signal design like SerDes or PLLs.
• Experience with SerDes PHY verification.
• Experience driving verification methodology changes and initiatives.
• Experience with Mixed Signal Verification (MSV).
• Experience with Gate Level Simulation (GLS).
• Experience with concepts of DFT, ATE, HVM.

Responsibilities

• Perform functional verification of digital and mixed-signal logic components including analog behavioral modeling and advanced verification techniques (UVM, real number modeling, AMS simulation).
• Create verification environments that accurately model analog-digital interactions and validate designs across process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations.
• Develop comprehensive IP verification plans, test benches, and scalable verification environments for mixed-signal microarchitecture specifications.
• Build verification frameworks supporting regression testing, continuous integration, and both digital and analog verification flows.
• Execute verification plans, analyze power/timing/performance metrics, and conduct system-level simulations and corner case analysis.
• Replicate, root cause, and debug complex issues in the pre-silicon environment, implementing corrective measures to resolve failing tests.
• Collaborate with digital and analog architects, RTL developers, and physical design teams to meet functional, performance, and power goals.
• Document test plans, drive technical reviews, and maintain/improve verification infrastructure and methodology while ensuring smooth pre-silicon to post-silicon correlation.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package.
• Opportunity to work on Intel's most advanced mixed-signal designs and technologies.
• Access to cutting-edge mixed-signal verification tools and simulation infrastructure.
• Collaboration with world-class analog and digital design engineers and architects.
• Professional development opportunities in advanced mixed-signal verification techniques.
• Direct impact on Intel's leadership in mixed-signal semiconductor innovation.
