Job Description

We're looking for motivated and talented engineers to join the Atom CPU verification team.

You will join the team responsible for exhaustively verifying the architecture and micro-architecture changes implemented in the CPU using a combination of dynamic and formal verification methods.

Your responsibilities may include, but are not limited to, the following:

* Technical ownership of validation of a microarchitecture block, methodology, or otherwise significant aspect of CPU
* Understand and contribute to micro-architecture specification and define verification strategy for a significant portion of the design
* Lead ROI analysis and recommend appropriate use of formal verification vs dynamic validation techniques for relevant parts of the CPU
* Document test plans and drive technical reviews of plans and proofs with design and architecture teams
* Develop validation content like test benches, test generators, formal proofs and automation tools to accelerate execution
* Influence and contribute to post-silicon validation
* Post-silicon failure debug and sighting resolution
* Mentor junior team members
* Collaborate on validation approach and strategy beyond immediate team
