Job Description:
Intel is seeking a Lead Design Verification Engineer for the Silicon Chassis team. In this technical leadership role, you will define end-to-end verification strategy and execution for multiple critical chassis and interconnect IP programs from planning through signoff. You will partner closely with architecture, design, software, and methodology teams to make early technical calls, unblock cross-team issues, and drive predictable high-quality delivery. This role requires deep DV expertise, strong protocol and memory subsystem knowledge, and enough breadth in RTL, physical design, and CAD to contribute across traditional discipline boundaries. AI-assisted workflows are part of everyday development here. Consistent execution against schedule and quality goals is expected.
Responsibilities
Define verification strategy, technical standards, and execution model for critical blocks and ensure delivery scales from IP through subsystem integration across multiple programs
Lead development of reusable environments, tools, and targeted testplans, including complex testbenches, checkers, VIPs, and behavioral models
Collaborate closely with architecture, design, software, and methodology teams from specification through bringup; contribute across role boundaries when needed to unblock execution and maintain delivery quality
Drive ownership of multiple critical blocks and verification components; take full responsibility for functional signoffs and achievement of performance and power metrics
Lead IP delivery to multiple customers while ensuring technical excellence; balance competing requirements, schedules, and resources across teams
Drive convergence of simulation, formal, and emulation-based verification into unified bug hunting and coverage closure strategies; evaluate and adopt emerging methodologies including ML-driven verification flows
Mentor and develop senior and junior verification engineers; establish verification best practices and raise team-level execution quality
Qualifications:
Minimum Qualifications
BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field, with 14 years of relevant experience in design verification; extensive background in IP DV with significant, demonstrated experience in subsystem and SoC-level verification
Proven deep expertise in interconnects, caches, and memory subsystems, including multiple bus protocols such as AMBA CHI, ACE, AXI, PCIe, UCIe, and CXL; strong foundation in memory management MMUs, cache coherency models and memory consistency implementation
Demonstrated experience in verification of global functions including debug, trace, clock and power management, RAS, QoS, and security features
Strong background in simulation and formal verification methodologies including UVM, SVA, ABV, and co-simulation; proficiency in low-power verification techniques, HDL/verification languages, and industry-standard EDA tools
Advanced hands-on coding proficiency across SystemVerilog/UVM, C/C, Python, and build systems; comfort using AI-assisted development tools as part of everyday workflow; track record of developing and delivering highly configurable and reusable verification collateral
Working familiarity with RTL, physical design constraints, and CAD tool flows; enough to read, review, and contribute outside core DV responsibilities
Demonstrated experience collaborating with formal verification and emulation teams to develop multi-engine verification strategies and drive closure across engines
Excellent communication and organizational skills with a track record of delivering high-quality silicon on schedule and establishing technical standards; able to adapt as tools, methodologies, and role definitions evolve
Preferred Qualifications
Hands-on experience with formal verification tools (JasperGold, VC Formal, or similar) and emulation or FPGA-based verification; track record of combining simulation, formal, and emulation for unified bug cl ... (truncated, view full listing at source)
