Cloud Software Development Engineer

The Role and Impact As a Cloud Software Development Engineer in the System Simulation and Modeling (SSM) organization, you will design, develop, and optimize software solutions that enable Intel's next generation platforms before silicon is available. You will contribute to innovations in simulation, system software, automation, and cloud infrastructure that accelerate firmware and software development across Intel product lines. In this role, you will work closely with firmware engineers, operating system developers, architects, silicon designers, and software teams to develop high-fidelity development environments and shift-left solutions that improve product quality, reduce execution risk, and accelerate time-to-market.

Your work will directly contribute to Intel's skills to develop, integrate, validate, and optimize complex system software stacks in a modern cloud-based development ecosystem. You will be expected to independently drive technical solutions, solve complex system-level problems, and deliver high-quality software from design through deployment.

The System Simulation and Modeling (SSM) team is part of the Product Enablement Solutions Group (PESG). We are transforming how Intel firmware and software are developed, integrated, and validated through advanced simulation, modeling, automation, and cloud technologies. Our team develops large-scale system simulation platforms that enable software development and validation months before silicon availability. These capabilities are critical to Intel's product execution strategy, reducing schedule risk while accelerating innovation across Data Center, AI, and emerging platform technologies.
