Join Intel and engineer the future.

Join Intel during an exciting transformation, with a vision to create and extend computing technology to connect and enrich the lives of every person on Earth. So, join us and help us create the next generation of technologies that will shape the future for decades to come.

Take Intel Structural Test Plus (STP) to the next level. STP is a designed set of test cards (CPU, DDR5, PCIe) that allows for server baseboards to be electrically tested in validation and volume manufacturing. As an STP Architect you will be driving STP designs (HW, Firmware and SW) and test strategies for next generation XEON server products and be a key member of the Data Platforms Engineering Operations (DEO) team within the Data Platforms Engineering and Architecture (DPEA) group supporting server platform development. DPEA invents, designs, and builds the world's most critical computing platforms and in this position the STP Architect will work in parallel with product architects and designers to drive shift left testing of new reference designs. This position will support reference platform development by providing high confidence in board connectivity of the high-speed busses and manufacturing defect free baseboards in these areas.

Position Description:
In this position, you will be driving early engagement with our server engineering and architecture teams to explore, invent, design, enable, and deliver new test hardware, firmware and software for next generation reference designs and systems. You will provide vital support to develop these test solutions and drive the implementation and execution during the new product development of server products by direct involvement and coordination with Intel's outsource manufacturers, internal and external design teams.

Your responsibilities will include, but not be limited to:

• Drive new STP test card designs utilizing FPGA to intercept new Platform Architecture and Reference Platform boards.
• Coordinate with CAD teams for layout of STP designs.
• Coordinate with mechanical teams to enable spacer designs for pre-power on and power on heat sink compatibility.
• Drive PCB, PCBA and spacers procurement of STP test cards.
• Invent and Develop New Test Technologies to continuously increase STP test coverage for next generation server platforms.
• Drive validation of new STP hardware, create test procedures, train ODMs/CMs for factory deployment.
• Continuous improvement of the STP SW GUI and automated test generation tool.
• Drive Strategic Collaborative Engineering Engagements with our partner groups and divisions.
