About The Position

Intel Silicon Architecture, Power-Performance (SiA PTP) team is looking for a highly skilled SoC performance engineer to join our PnP validation team. We are a post silicon team responsible for attaining SOC-IP power-performance expectations for Intel's client products. This role requires regular onsite presence to fulfill essential job responsibilities. Performs low-level and complex debug for multiple systems, subsystems within a product, or at the SoC level for Intel products. Works to continuously improve the debug discipline through new design for debug (DFD) tools and scripts. Applies deep understanding of SoC design, architecture, firmware, and software to resolve triage failures, marginality issues, and conduct root cause analysis. As a PnP validation engineer, you will be able to develop, execute validation test plans and directed tests to ensure adherence to validation standards and procedures. In this role, you will have the opportunity to work on cutting edge technology, use best in class systems and equipment. We expect you to have good scripting skills and be able to process large amounts of performance data, use automation for analyzing and optimizing SOC and Compute performance. You will also work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure our SoCs meet the highest standards of performance, power efficiency and identifying opportunities for improvement.

Requirements
