Job Description: 

Your Role:

Shaping the Future of AI Technology Are you passionate about AI and looking for a role that intertwines state-of-the-art hardware and software? Intel's NPU IP is at the heart of our AI PC, representing a critical component of our cutting-edge products and unlocking the societal benefits that AI will bring. Our products are built on power-efficient silicon and an optimized software stack, but our success is built on people like you.

We're looking for someone who is eager to dive into the world of AI, supporting pre-silicon HW and SW stack validation and post-silicon SW stack optimization. If you have a HW design or validation background, this could be an ideal opportunity to explore the SW ecosystem.

Key Responsibilities:

• As an AI HW/SW Co-Design Modelling Engineer, you'll be an integral part of a dynamic team developing NPU IP Pre-Silicon Simulation software models and tools for Intel's SoC designs.

• Collaborate with multi-disciplinary engineers and architects to model future Intel NPU hardware IP, crafting virtual platforms for early software bring-up and robust hardware validation environments.

• Gain a broad understanding of how HW-based acceleration products are built and learn why these products are the real engine behind the AI revolution.

What Awaits You on Your Intel Journey:

• Innovative Environment: Immerse yourself in cutting-edge virtual platform modelling technology, using platforms such as Intel Simics and state-of-the-art UVM hardware validation methodologies.

• Rapid Skill Enhancement: Expand your existing expertise through advanced software engineering techniques and embedded software development practices.

• Collaborative Excellence: Work alongside RTL designers, validation engineers, and SW/FW and OS driver developers to deliver world-class products

• Architectural Influence: Grow your AI development skills and contribute to architectural and technical deliverables while adhering to sound software engineering principles.

• Career Growth: We will invest in you, helping you to sustain and reach your long-term career goals focusing both on hard and soft skill development.

Qualifications:

Minimum Qualifications:

• Master/Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or relevant technology  degree/qualification with 5+ years of applicable industry experience.

• Software Proficiency: Strong background in object-oriented programming, C++,Python, Software Engineering

• Linux Software Development: Development and debug experience is a must.

• Embedded Hardware Design: Proficiency with VHDL/Verilog, SystemVerilog for simulation and synthesis is essential.

• Strong AI Fundamentals: Understanding of underlying principles such as dot product (multiply and accumulate), activation functions, convolution, etc., and how they relate to, and enable, AI network topologies.

• Familiarity with Git and CI tools: Git for source code management, and experience with CI/CD and automated software/hardware regression testing are highly advantageous.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Virtual Platform Modelling: Hands-on experience with Intel Simics or similar virtual platform modelling and simulation environments.

• Multithreaded Application Development: Expertise in C/C++.

• HW Validation Methodology: Experience beyond basic HDLs such as Verilog and VHDL.,UVM for hardware verification

• Embedded SW, Firmware, and/or System Validation: Debug and signoff experience.

• Numerics and AI Data Processing: Understanding of floating point datatypes, type conversion, commutativity, and precision in the context of AI data processing structures such as tensors and blobs.

• Familiarity with SoC Architecture: System-level understanding of data flows and memory management, including simulation of HW components and functions such as registers, data/memory interfaces, MMUs, CPUs, DSPs, NoCs, interrupts, and CPR (clock, power, reset).

Requirements listed would be obtained through a combination of industry-relevant job experience, internship experiences, and/or schoolwork/classes/research. On-the-job training will be given in these areas as you take the next step in your career with our team.
