Join us and, together, we’ll advance your career. ### THE ROLE This role focuses on the design verification of next-generation CPUs, translating new CPU features and microarchitectural designs into effective verification plans. The engineer will analyze RTL designs, verify functionality and performance, and drive assigned areas through verification closure. The role includes developing and improving verification environments, debugging complex design issues, performing coverage analysis, and partnering across design, testbench, and emulation teams. This work contributes to next-generation CPU technology spanning client, server, and data center products. ### THE PERSON You are a collaborative and self-directed engineer who enjoys understanding complex CPU designs at the hardware level. You approach technical challenges with curiosity, sound judgment, and a commitment to resolving issues thoroughly. You communicate clearly across engineering teams, take ownership of your work, and are comfortable adopting new verification methods and tools. ### KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Develop comprehensive verification plans for new CPU features and microarchitectural implementations. Analyze register-transfer level designs to understand functionality, interactions, and verification requirements. Create and maintain functional and performance verification tests. Develop, enhance, and debug verification environments and testbench components. Drive assigned verification areas from planning through design closure. Perform coverage analysis, identify verification gaps, and implement strategies to address them. Diagnose complex design and verification issues and drive them to resolution. Collaborate with CPU design, verification, testbench, and hardware emulation teams. Improve verification methodologies, debugging capabilities, and engineering workflows. Provide technical guidance and support to partner engineering teams. ### PREFERRED EXPERIENCE Experience with CPU design verification and modern verification methodologies. Strong understanding of CPU architecture and microarchitecture, including hardware implementation and interactions between CPU blocks. Experience analyzing register-transfer level designs and debugging complex verification failures. Experience with SystemVerilog and Universal Verification Methodology environments. Experience programming in C or C++. Experience with functional coverage, code coverage, and verification closure. Familiarity with verification testbench development and infrastructure. Familiarity with hardware emulation is preferred. Knowledge of formal verification techniques is beneficial.
