CPU Pre-Si Verification Intern

at  Intel

JOB DESCRIPTION

The world is transforming and so is Intel. Here at Intel, we believe the world needs technology that can enrich the lives of every person on Earth.
The E-Core CPU team is a CPU Core development team in Guadalajara, Mexico. We believe that developing these technologies takes a team of exceptionally talented individuals who work together to visualize, innovate, and make the future of computing possible. If you are excited about advanced development of breakthrough technologies for future-generation CPU cores, we welcome you to join us, to do something wonderful.
The focus of this role is to be part of a team of pre-silicon verification engineers to verify new and existing features for Intel’s next generation CPU IP resulting in bug free final design.
You will be responsible for exhaustively validating the RTL implementation of new architecture and microarchitecture capabilities using a combination of standalone and top-level test environments as well as formal verification.

A SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE WILL HAVE PROVEN EXPERIENCE DEMONSTRATING THE FOLLOWING SKILLS AND BEHAVIORAL TRAITS:

• This team is responsible to ensure the highest quality of Intel’s CPU designs, in a dynamic cross-team environment. Essential soft skills for candidates include excellent problem-solving skills, initiative, interpersonal skills, and good written and verbal communication skills.

QUALIFICATIONS

Minimum Qualifications:

Minimum qualifications are required to be initially considered for this position.

• Bachelor’s or a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
