We are a global leader, creating world-changing technology that enables progress and enriches lives. Intel is at the intersection of several technology inflections - artificial intelligence, 5G network transformation, and the rise of the intelligent edge- that together will shape the future of technology.

As a member of Intel's Programmable Solutions Group, in this role the candidate will use knowledge of Post-Si validation, SERDES, and Signal integrity and power integrity to validation or new and next generation SOC products. The candidate will interface with other teams related to board design and packaging to lead efforts at a system level in enabling customers, both internal and external, to use the Structured ASIC technology. The candidate should also be familiar with lab measurements and debug.

Structured ASIC team:

This is a structured ASIC team under Intel's PSG is targeting 5G, cloud computing and high-end consumer application space. Intel eASIC devices are structured ASICs, an intermediary technology between FPGAs and standard-cell ASICs bridging the gap between FPGA and Custom ASIC.
