Verification Engineer – AI SoC Development

About the Role

Intel's AI SoC organization develops cutting‑edge products powering next‑generation AI applications. As a Senior Verification Engineer, you will play a key role in ensuring the functional correctness and robustness of complex ASIC designs for AI workloads.

You will perform functional logic verification of integrated SoCs to ensure designs meet specifications. This includes defining and developing scalable and reusable block, subsystem, and SoC verification plans, test benches, and verification environments to meet required coverage levels and confirm to microarchitecture specifications.

You'll execute verification plans and define and run emulation and system simulation models to verify designs, analyze power and performance, and uncover bugs. Working in the presilicon environment, you'll replicate, root cause, and debug issues while finding and implementing corrective measures to resolve failing tests.

Collaboration is key as you'll work with SoC architects, microarchitects, full chip architects, RTL developers, postsilicon, and physical design teams to improve verification of complex architectural and microarchitectural features. You'll document test plans and drive technical reviews with design and architecture teams while incorporating security activities within test plans to ensure security coverage.

Additionally, you'll maintain and improve existing functional verification infrastructure and methodology, absorb learning from postsilicon validation quality, update test plans for missing coverages, and proliferate improvements to future products.

• Lead digital ASIC verification at block and system level for advanced AI So Cs
• Define and review comprehensive test plans; ensure alignment with design specifications and coverage goals
• Architect and develop System Verilog testbench infrastructure (UVM and non‑UVM) for functional verification
• Drive execution of test plans, regression runs, and achieve code and functional coverage closure
• Collaborate with design teams to debug issues and ensure timely resolution
• Contribute to pre‑silicon verification, chip bring‑up, and post‑silicon validation
• Mentor junior engineers and establish best practices for verification methodology

• Ability to lead projects, work cross‑functionally, and deliver under tight schedules
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset

• Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science
  • 7+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC verification
• Preferred Qualifications
  • Expertise in System Verilog and UVM methodology
  • Strong understanding of digital design concepts, clock domain crossings, and power management
  • Experience with verification of complex SoCs, including CPU subsystems and standard bus protocols (AXI, AHB)
  • Familiarity with industry standard EDA tools, including simulators (VCS, Questa, Xcelium), coverage analysis tools, and modern waveform debug environments
  • Scripting skills (Python, Perl, TCL) for automation
