CQN strives to lead the industry moving forward through product innovation and world-class engineering. We are chartered to develop the capability to stress circuits. We are a nimble, high-output team that works well together and have fun doing hard work. In this position, the candidate will be using platforms and test equipment to run test programs and collect data at specific voltages and temperatures for CPU and SoC products.

The candidate will be engaged in activities ranging from, but not limited to:

- Test and collect data on platforms and test equipment using a range of test programs and tools for different workloads.

- Perform voltage, content, and temperature experiments and generate data summary reports.

- Troubleshoot platforms and test equipment hardware and software-specific issues.

At Intel, we constantly push the boundaries of innovation to make people's lives more fulfilling, exciting, and easier to manage. It starts with the chip and ends with a world of opportunity. You could work directly with process/product design and development teams. You are a critical player in taking a product to production ramp. You will be working with teams that own the responsibility of ensuring the quality and reliability of integrated circuits, optimizing component production, and evaluating, developing, and debugging complex test and stress methodologies.

The ideal candidate should exhibit the following behavioral traits:

• Good written and verbal communication skills.
• Good data analysis and problem-solving skills.
• Expertise to multitask and work in a dynamic and team-oriented environment.
