The Intel Server Architecture team determines, specifies and evaluates the viability of complex hardware features and structures and ensures that software and hardware designs interface correctly. Designs framework for particular functions. Defines, documents and tests processes for inclusion into technical platforms, subsystem specifications, input/output and working parameters for hardware and/or software compatibility. Identifies, analyzes and resolves subsystem and/or SoC design weaknesses. Influences the shaping of future products by significantly contributing to the architecture used across design families. Provides multilayered technical expertise for next generation initiatives. This position requires prior experience

Intel Server Architecture team is looking for a Silicon Architecture Engineer to join our team.

In this position you will help us with the following responsibilities:

• Write specification documents for implementation by designers. Be available from cradle-to-grave as design progresses and make trade-offs based on implementation constraints.

• You may work on various horizontal aspects of design that span multiple products: These areas might include die-to-die industry-standard protocols, GPIO, configuring various aspects of the SoC internals (such as fabrics), specifying performance monitoring events, reliability hooks in a subsystem, debug hooks in a subsystem, write simple (Python) models to determine performance or power of a subsystem.

• Defines interfaces between hardware, firmware, and software.

• Uses knowledge and experience to influence architecture and design for future products.

In addition to the qualifications listed below, the ideal candidate will demonstrate the following traits:

• Good communication skills both written and verbal.
