About Intel & Silicon Chassis

Intel is seeking an Entry Level Design Verification Engineer for the Silicon Chassis team. In this role, you will contribute to the verification of next-generation interconnect and chassis IPs that underpin Intel's most ambitious SoC and platform products.

Position Overview

You will work alongside senior engineers to build testbenches, write constrained-random tests, close functional coverage, and root-cause simulation failures - developing end-to-end verification skills from day one.

We look for engineers who think algorithmically, write clean code, and are excited to apply the latest AI-assisted development tools as a core part of how they work. You do not need to know everything on day one; you do need strong fundamentals, genuine curiosity, and the drive to ramp fast.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop testbench components, constrained-random stimulus, and functional checkers for interconnect and chassis IP under guidance of senior engineers • Write, run, and debug simulation tests; analyze failures and root-cause issues to closure with clear technical write-ups • Contribute to functional coverage plans, coverage closure analysis, and regression triage • Participate in spec reviews, design discussions, and bug triage; learn to contribute across architecture, design, and software boundaries • Use AI-assisted coding and debugging tools as an everyday part of development workflow; actively contribute to the team's productivity through automation and scripting • Continuously build depth in hardware design, verification methodology, and the chip development flow

What We're Looking For

You should demonstrate the following professional traits to be successful: • Genuine curiosity and the drive to ramp fast • Algorithmic thinking with a commitment to writing clean code • Enthusiasm for applying the latest AI-assisted development tools as a core part of how you work

Qualifications:

This position is not eligible for Intel immigration sponsorship.

Minimum Qualifications • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science and 3+ months of Internship experience in a hardware design or verification environment • Foundation in logic design and digital circuits - required; ability to read and reason about RTL is essential • Demonstrated algorithmic thinking and software fundamentals application - required • Demonstrated proficiency in at least one of C/C++, Python, or SystemVerilog through coursework, projects, or internships • Coursework or project exposure to two or more of the following: computer architecture, parallel and distributed computing, operating systems, hardware/software interfaces, VLSI design • Demonstrated use of AI coding assistants as a regular part of coursework or project work - not occasional use, but as a genuine productivity tool

Preferred Qualifications • Coursework or project work in hardware verification, FPGA design, or RTL simulation (ModelSim, VCS, Questa, or similar) • Exposure to SystemVerilog, UVM concepts, or assertion-based verification through coursework, self-study, or internship • Familiarity with standard bus protocols (AXI, AHB, PCIe) or cache/memory hierarchy concepts • Demonstrated project work (senior design, research, hackathon, personal) involving hardware modeling, algorithm implementation in HDL, or hardware-software co-design • Comfort working in Linux environments, using version control (git), and writing build/test automation scripts • Worked experience in any related field
