Our Power and Performance Validation teams are responsible for validating the power subsystems, the power delivery networks, and optimizing the battery life and performance of our CPUs.

As a member of our Power and Performance Validation Team you will:

• Create, define, and develop power validation methods, environments, and test content.
• Use and apply platform level tools and techniques to ensure performance to specifications and optimize and characterize the power delivery networks.
• Perform Si and platform debug to root-cause issues and enable robust design fixes.
• Requires broad understanding of multiple system areas and requires interfaces with architecture design and pre-silicon validation teams in improving post-silicon test content and providing feedback for future on die debug features.
• Be able to demonstrate success in communicating plans status issues and concerns.
• Test planning execution monitoring and reporting test results.
• Collaboration with cross functional HW and SW teams to solve complex issues and improve efficiency.
• Frontline and drive schedules and issues to closure in high complex scenarios.
• Help define solutions for customer issues.
• Be able to make judgment calls regarding customer deliverables and program level risk assessment from a power and performance standpoint.

Behavioral Traits:

• Problem-solving, debug and logic proficiency.
• Demonstrated collaboration and teaming skills.
• Demonstrated networking, communication, and influence skills.

Qualifications

Minimum Qualifications:

• The candidate must possess either a BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related fields with 3+ years of experience; or MS in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering with 1+ years of experience; or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related fields.
• A developed understanding of Computer Architecture and CPU micro-architecture.
• A developed understanding of analog electronics.
• Experience with Python or C language programming.
• Intermediate+ English.

Preferred Qualifications:

• CPU microarchitectural and/or high-speed bus protocol experience.
• Experience in design verification or validation disciplines, system platform-level debug and root cause isolation methodology and tools.
• Experience in System/platform-level debug and root cause isolation, methodology and tools (including Logic Analyzers, Protocol Analyzers, Oscilloscopes and Multimeters).
• Experience with leading automation efforts planning execution and overseeing system validation activities.
• Deep technical knowledge in performance and power management including understanding of architecture and microcode sufficient to understand potential power and performance impacts of changes.
• Familiarity with industry benchmarks which aspects of performance they measure and competitive analysis from previous-gen products.
• Experience with performance counters.

The everyday contributions of the Intel Validation Engineering (iVE) team are essential to retaining/regaining Intel's product leadership. We validate, debug, and tune the newest designs and world-changing technologies that enrich the lives of every person on earth. We play a critical role in completing the PRQs of Intel products and in Intel's ability to deliver the annual technology platforms in our roadmap.
