Come and join us. Intel is seeking a highly qualified candidate to join and contribute to a growing firmware architecture team within the IP Engineering Group (IPG). IPG develops soft and hard IPs that enable the creation of Intel products.

As an IP Firmware Architect, you will help define Intels approach for the co-development and validation of IP hardware and firmware for a variety of technologies including I/O, memory, fabrics and other technologies. You will be responsible for the design and implementation of proof-of-concept prototypes, delivery of specifications, development of tools, and the design of processes necessary for the development & validation of industry leading IPs.

Responsibilities:

• Technical contributor on a growing firmware architecture team working in the pre-silicon space

• Development of Firmware Architecture in support of IP blocks

• End-to-end engagement on Firmware Architecture from early concept phase through to delivery of the final, validated firmware product

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.
