The Network and Edge group (NEX) at Intel drives the software-defined transformation of the world's infrastructure - in data centers, in networks, and at the edge.  We are a team of problem solvers, experimenters, and innovators who are dedicated to designing the network technologies that currently lead and continue to transform data-centre and AI ecosystems.

As a world-class organization, we're looking for outstanding talent to accelerate our growth during an exciting time in Ethernet networking technology. If you're ready to be a part of this journey, then we want to hear from you.

As a SOC Design Verification Engineer in the Network and Edge group you will:

• Perform functional logic verification of an integrated SoC to ensure design will meet specifications.
• Validate High speed IO stacks like PCIe, Ethernet, UCIE, CXL, USB etc.
• Define and develops scalable and reusable block, subsystem, and SoC verification plans, test benches, and the verification environment to meet the required level of coverage and confirm to microarchitecture specifications.
• Execute verification plans and defines and runs emulation and system simulation models to verify the design, analyze power and performance, and uncover bugs.
• Replicate, root causes, and debug issues in the pre-silicon environment.
• Finds and implements corrective measures to resolve failing tests.
• Collaborate and communicates with SoC architects, microarchitects, full chip architects, RTL developers, post-silicon, and physical design teams to improve verification of complex architectural and microarchitectural features.
• Document test plans and drives technical reviews of plans and proofs with design and architecture teams.
• Incorporate and executes security activities within test plans, including regression and debug tests, to ensure security coverage.
• Maintain and improves existing functional verification infrastructure and methodology.
