10+ years expIntel Corporation is a leading technology company known for its innovative solutions. They are seeking a highly accomplished Silicon Design Verification Architect to define, architect, and deliver end-to-end verification strategies for complex IPs, subsystems, and SoCs, ensuring first-pass silicon success across pre- and post-silicon validation.
Semiconductors
Responsibilities
Define and own the verification architecture and strategy for IPs, subsystems, and full SoCs, ensuring optimal tradeoffs between completeness, performance, reuse, and scalability
Architect, implement, and maintain advanced UVM and formal‑based verification environments, including configurable, reusable testbenches and verification components
Design and integrate block‑level testbenches into chip‑level UVM environments, executing and validating complex IP and SoC integrations
Develop comprehensive test strategies, testbench architectures, and verification plans aligned with design specifications, coverage goals, and silicon milestones
Lead random and constrained‑random test generation, functional simulation, and regression strategies to uncover design gaps and corner‑case defects
Drive coverage analysis, failure root‑cause analysis, and coverage closure, ensuring measurable verification completeness and signoff readiness
Develop and execute low‑power and security validation strategies, including definition of security coverage models and deployment of security‑focused verification infrastructure
Collaborate closely with design, architecture, analog, software, and post‑silicon teams to align verification intent across the full product lifecycle
Support post‑silicon validation and debug, leveraging pre‑silicon environments and collateral to accelerate issue isolation and resolution
Mentor and influence verification engineers across teams through best practices, design reviews, and technical leadership
Qualification
Required
BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, with 10+ years of industry experience in silicon design verification
8+ years of experience across IP‑level, subsystem‑level, and SoC‑level verification, with demonstrated ownership of complex verification architectures
Strong expertise in simulation‑based verification methodologies, including UVM, assertion‑based verification, co‑simulation, and low‑power verification
Advanced coding skills in SystemVerilog/UVM
Preferred
Proven hands‑on experience developing highly configurable and reusable Verification IP (VIP) such as AMBA, PCIe, HBM, LPDDR, or similar complex protocols
Advanced coding skills in SystemVerilog/UVM, C/C++, Python, and scripting/build systems such as Make, CMake, or Bazel
Demonstrated history of delivering robust, scalable verification tools and infrastructure that enable high‑quality, on‑time silicon
