JOB TITLE: CPU Core Verification Engineer The CPU Core Verification Engineer joins the Cores Organization to support the development of high-performance CPUs and cache technologies for server, client, and gaming markets. As a technical contributor, the engineer develops processes, methodologies, and tools to verify high-speed microprocessor designs, including randomized test stimulus and infrastructure. Key responsibilities involve developing verification stimulus for specific architectural and microarchitectural features, writing maintainable code, and collaborating with the RTL design team to optimize verification strategies. The role requires measuring and analyzing verification coverage to identify gaps and meet project quality objectives. Candidates should possess skills in Ruby, C/C++, x86 assembly, and modern computer architecture. The work focuses on solving complex verification challenges for ASIC designs and digital designs within a collaborative, cross-site engineering environment.

What you'll do

  • Develop processes, methodologies, and tools to verify high-speed microprocessor designs.
  • Create randomized test stimulus and infrastructure for verification.
  • Lead and contribute to the development of verification stimulus for specific architectural features.
  • Write high-quality, maintainable code for CPU core verification.
  • Collaborate with the RTL design team to define and optimize verification strategies.
  • Measure and analyze verification coverage to identify and address design gaps.
  • Implement improvements to meet specific design and project quality objectives.

What we're looking for

  • BS/MS in CS, CSE, EE, a related technical field, or equivalent relevant experience.
  • Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and excellent attention to detail.
  • Ability to manage priorities, take ownership of work, and meet project commitments.
  • Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly and effectively.
  • Experience with one or more relevant programming languages, such as Ruby, C/C++, x86 assembly, or similar languages (preferred).
  • Understanding of modern computer architecture; knowledge of x86 architecture is beneficial (preferred).
  • Knowledge of verification techniques for microprocessors, ASIC designs, or similar digital designs (preferred).
