Overview

As a So C Functional Validation Engineer, you will play a critical role in ensuring Intel's System‑on‑Chip solutions meet the highest standards of quality, functionality, and performance. You will validate IP integration, optimize system‑level features, debug post‑silicon issues, and support the delivery of reliable, scalable So C designs across diverse applications.

Key Responsibilities Define, develop, and execute functional validation for integrated So Cs focusing on IP integration, IP interactions, and system‑level features. Apply hardware and software validation tools and methodologies to ensure comprehensive coverage while meeting performance, power, and area goals. Review and assess proposed design changes to evaluate their impact on validation plans, tasks, and timelines. Develop So C validation methodologies, create detailed test plans, and collaborate with engineering teams to troubleshoot issues and optimize designs. Perform silicon debug to identify root causes, analyze complex failures, and resolve functional and triage issues for So C designs. Test interaction between various So C features using validation infrastructure to ensure system readiness. Develop post‑silicon validation infrastructure including performance monitors, behavioral checkers, and test environments. Publish validation reports summarizing activities, results, and insights, and communicate findings to critical teams. Collaborate with architecture, design, verification, board, platform, and manufacturing teams to refine debug processes, validation strategies, and methodologies for So C interfaces. Generate test content to enhance specific IP interactions using tools such as microcode patches, firmware updates, or custom OS builds.



Engage in multiple product lifecycle phases, performing bug hunts and validation in diverse environments including simulation, emulation, and FPGAs. Minimum Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related STEM field. 1+ years of experience with a Bachelor’s degree, or 0 years of experience with a Master’s degree. Proficiency in Python scripting and object‑oriented programming principles. Experience with debugging tools and methodologies. Fundamental understanding of So C architecture and microarchitecture. Advance English level. Must have unrestricted, permanent right to work in Mexico. Preferred Qualifications Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related STEM field. Familiarity with Linux operating systems and kernel‑level debugging. Knowledge of So C/CPU architecture and microarchitecture. Experience with validation, troubleshooting, and debugging complex So C problems. Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, C, or C++. Experience with hardware testing tools including JTAG and ITP. Exposure to technology domains such as PCIe, RAS, Manageability, Memory, Artificial Intelligence, and Security. Hands‑on experience with container environments, OS debug, and driver development in Windows and/or Linux. Equal Employment Opportunity Statement
