Our Software and System Validation Engineers are part of a vibrant cross-site team (US and Asia) who define validation strategies and develop the tests that we use to validate subsystem and platform integration for Intel's networking and server products across multiple roadmaps. We support a range of Network Data Accelerators and platform Hardware applications with our experienced Pre and Post-Si engineers

An ideal candidate has general platform integration and debug expertise across a range of interfaces so they can pick up new technologies to architect, define, and develop test strategies and content that efficiently identifies issues at the RTL, FW, Integration or Specification level.

You will work with virtual platform simulation, FPGA emulation, and real hardware to ensure the devices meet our customers' specifications and use cases. Successful system validation engineers have a broad understanding of system architecture, RTL, firmware, and debug techniques, while routinely interfacing with Architecture, Design, Software, and Pre-Silicon Validation teams.
