About the Role

The Networking Solutions Group (NSG) within Intel's Central Engineering Group is at the forefront of designing and validating the next generation of high-speed network connectivity products. Our team develops and validates boards that interconnect data centers, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise networking worldwide. We  take pride in shipping products that define industry standards.

We are a team of engineers & technicians who are passionate about pushing the boundaries of what's possible in PCIe-based Network Interface Card (fNIC and IPU) technology  and we're looking for a sharp, driven Hardware Electrical Validation Engineer to join us.

As a  Hardware Electrical Validation Engineer, you will own the electrical validation complex  PCIe-based Network Interface/IPU  Cards. This is a high-impact, highly technical role where your work directly influences product quality, schedule, and customer satisfaction.

What You’ll Do

Key responsibilities will include but not limited to:

• Develop and execute electrical validation plans for complex SoCs integrated into PCIe-based Network Interface Cards (NICs).
• Define electrical validation methodologies, test coverage, and success criteria for networking hardware.
• Perform signal integrity, power integrity, and electrical compliance testing on high-speed interfaces using automation software.
• Identify, debug, and resolve issues across hardware, firmware and system interactions.
• Conduct board-level electrical validation and characterization using laboratory instrumentation including oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, power supplies, thermal chambers, and Bit Error Rate Test (BERT) equipment.
• Analyze validation results and provide results in a report format.
• Develop automation and data analysis tools using Python or related scripting languages.
• Collaborate closely with architecture, design, firmware, software, manufacturing, and validation teams throughout the product lifecycle.
• Support hardware bring-up, system margin testing, environmental stress testing, and compliance qualification activities.

Behavioral traits that we are looking for:
