SoC Design Engineer –Design For Debug Validation

**Job Details:**

**Job Description:**

Come join Intel's Design Development Group organization as an SOC Validation engineering focused on Design for Debug (DFD). As a member of the product team, you will work firsthand with multi-function teams/sites, implementing and validating state-of-the-art debug solutions appropriate for new and existing technology in the product. In this role you will be working as part of a pre-silicon validation team for future Intel SoCs or IPs, focusing on debug validation. You will be working with pre-silicon and post -silicon validation teams to improve debug features and tools suites. You will also work closely with post-silicon validation SW teams on debug tool validation and silicon enabling. You will be pioneering new debug tools and flows, reviewing and publishing architectural specs and supporting next-generation silicon enabling on system platforms.

Your responsibilities will include but not be limited to:

+ Validation of Design for Debug features (e.g. low & high-bandwidth signal tracing and event triggering) using simulation, emulation, and/or FPGA

+ Creating test plans and tests for validating portions of a complex microarchitecture using written specs, RTL code and other tests as a guide

+ Learning the Power Management, Memory and debug architecture and microarchitecture by debugging failures to the root cause

+ Developing and utilizing various debug and validation tools and/or methodologies to implement validation plans with the goal being to ensure a solid design

+ Participating in the debug of failures on silicon and developing new testing strategies to detect these failures on RTL models

+ Developing high level (for example, System C) modeling for RTL components

+ Developing debugging tools and software

The ideal candidate will exhibit behavioral traits that indicate:

+ Self-motivator with strong problem solving skills.

+ Excellent interpersonal skills, including written and verbal communication.

+ Ability to work as part of a team and collaborate in a high-paced atmosphere.

+ OR Masters in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related STEM degree and 2+ years of industry experience

+ 3 years experience in the following;

+ Experience with computer architecture

+ Experience with Programming languages/Scripting: C, Perl, Verilog and UNIX* or Linux*

+ Experience with writing validation plans and software to implement those validation plans

+ Experience with reading and interpreting technical specs and Register Transfer Level (RTL) code

Preferred Qualifications:

+ Extensive Pre-silicon & Post-silicon Track record of driving debug tools enabling & validation, improvements and getting them adopted by others

+ Proven record of working across validation teams to solve problems

+ Expert of HW and SW Interaction and debug to root cause

+ 3yrs+ experience with IA-32 assembly and/or Verilog* programming experience

+ 3yrs+ experience with validation or testing experience, especially in a silicon design team

+ 2yrs+ experience with industry standards such as ATB/Coresight, JTAG
