If you are passionate about computer graphics and working with leading graphics engineers on Intel's latest GPU/CPU architecture, then Intel's Xe Architecture and IP Engineering team has opportunities for you. As part of the Xe Architecture and IP Engineering team we will focus on architecting, designing and verifying our Xe IP roadmap. We have ambitions to scale Xe from tera-flops to zetta-flops and this team will grow to achieve that. We are looking for Graphics Validation Tools Engineer with great interpersonal and communication skills to join the team to help us develop software to exercise all the features of our discrete and integrated graphics processors. We're at the center of graphics processor engineering, working with graphics design, architecture, simulation, driver development, and validation to create realistic traffic for our 3D, compute, media encode/decode, display, and blitter engines, as well as multithreaded vector processing cores. You'll learn many aspects of graphics and system architecture and software engineering while working with other smart, motivated engineers.

You will help us with the following responsibilities which will include but not be limited to:
- Working on graphics traffic generation tools used to validate integrated and discrete GPUs at multiple levels of abstraction
- Learning the graphics core architecture, including one or more of: 3D, blitter, media encode/decode, compute, display, or virtualization/memory-management
- Designing and developing tool features and extensions in an Agile environment
- Collaborating with design, architecture, pre-and post-silicon validation, and graphics driver development and functional simulation to make sure all aspects of our architecture are covered

Qualifications

You must possess the below minimum qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates. Experience would be obtained through a combination of prior education level classes, and current level school classes, projects, research, and relevant previous job and internship experience.

Minimum skills and experience:
Must have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/ Computer Engineering or any related field plus 3 years of industry experience. Or a Master's degree in the same fields with 1+ year educational or related industry experience.

Your experience must be in the following:
