About the Role

Join Intel's Hard IP Development Group (HIPD) within the Central Engineering Organization, where innovation meets execution. Our team develops industry-leading intellectual property that powers high-performance products across Server, Client, and Networking SoCs, as well as solutions for Intel Foundry customers.

HIPD creates a comprehensive portfolio of cutting-edge Mixed Signal IPs including general purpose IOs, Digital Thermal Sensors, PLLs, Serial and Parallel IO PHYs (DDR/LPDDR, PCIe, USB, Type-C, UCIe Die-to-Die), and Ethernet PHYs. As part of our IO Post Silicon Validation Debug team, you'll work with a dynamic group of engineers who serve as the critical bridge between IP design teams and SoC customers throughout the validation and debug process.

Key Responsibilities

Customer-Focused IP Enablement

• Provide Response for IP Questions to customers timely
• Provide IP reviews, Lab Demos, and Training to customers as needed
• Generate Industry standard IP documentations and collaterals as needed for external customers
• Partner closely with SoC customers and IP design teams to deliver comprehensive pre-silicon to post-silicon IP Integration and Debug support
• Develop and execute test plans and content using AI-driven tools and Python/System Verilog scripting
• Conduct SoC board design reviews and provide technical recommendations
• Perform signal integrity and power integrity simulations to optimize design performance

Silicon Validation & Debug Leadership

• Serve as the IP team representative during SoC power-on activities for test chips and products
• Provide hands-on IP enabling support throughout the silicon bring-up process
• Lead identification, investigation, and resolution of IP-related silicon issues
• Execute timely debugging and disposition of customer issues and sightings

Technical Problem Solving

• Conduct both pre-silicon and post-silicon issue reproduction and analysis
• Drive root cause analysis initiatives with comprehensive failure analysis
• Collaborate across cross-functional teams to deliver robust solutions
• Maintain customer obsession by ensuring rapid resolution of IP-related challenges

Core Competencies

• Able to work independently with design team and customers to solve issues either remotely or onsite.
• Able to lead on IP debug as situation arises in addition to hands on debug

Qualifications:

The Minimum qualifications are required to be initially considered for this position.  Minimum qualifications listed below would be obtained through a combination of industry relevant job experience, internship experience and / or schoolwork/classes/research. The preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelors and 7+ years of experience or Masters degree and 4+ years of experience in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or in a related field
• Experience in IP Integration, pre-silicon verification, Electrical or Functional Post Silicon validation and debug with either serial IOs (PCIe, USB, SATA, TypeC, Ethernet) or parallel IOs (DDR, LPDDR, UCIe Die2Die)
• 2+ years of experience with the lab hardware and software
• Experience using Oscilloscopes, Logic Analyzers, Protocol analyzers and BERTs (Bit Error Ratio Testers)
• Experience with at least one or more industry standard IO specifications like DDR, LPDDR, PCIE, USB, USB TypeC, Die2Die, Ethernet, etc. Either PHY or Controller experience is good

Preferred Qualifications

• Ph.D. degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or in a related field
• Experience in signal integrity, power delivery, IBIS-AMI model development and silicon co- relation
• Pre-silicon design or simulation experience in logic, circuits, firmware or MRC and mixed signal validation

Why This Role Matters

• You'll play a pivotal role in ensuring Intel's IP portfolio meets the demanding requirements of next-generation computing platforms. Your work will directly impact product success across multiple market segments while advancing the state-of-the-art in high-speed IO technologies
• This position offers the unique opportunity to work at the intersection of cutting-edge IP development and real-world customer applications, making you an integral part of Intel's continued innovation leadership
