GPU Validation Engineer

Job Title

GPU Validation Engineer

Role Summary

Validate functional correctness, performance, and reliability of Intel GPUs by defining, developing, and executing validation methodologies across hardware and software layers. Work focuses on system-level interactions, silicon debug, and post-silicon validation infrastructure.

Position is with Intel's Data Center Group (DCG) and requires on-site presence in Bangalore.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Minimum qualifications: Bachelor's degree +9 years, Master's degree +6 years, or Ph.D. +4 years in GPU validation, silicon debugging, or related domains.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include planning and executing GPU validation, debugging silicon issues, and building validation infrastructure.

• Develop and execute comprehensive functional validation plans covering hardware and software components.
• Analyze and debug silicon issues; perform triage to identify root causes and resolve failures.
• Test and validate system-level interactions among GPU, media, display, and platform features.
• Design and implement post-silicon validation infrastructure (behavioral checkers, performance monitors, coverage tools).
• Collaborate with architecture, design, verification, board, platform, and manufacturing teams to refine validation strategies and assess design changes.
• Publish validation reports documenting findings, results, and recommendations.
• Maintain and improve validation methodologies to meet product performance, power, and area goals.

Requirements

Concise list of required and preferred skills. Education requirements are summarized separately below.

• Must-have: Proven experience in GPU validation and silicon debug, including functional validation, failure triage, and system-level verification.
• Must-have: Strong technical knowledge of GPU architecture, media, and display technologies.
• Must-have: Experience with validation tools and infrastructure and with developing post-silicon test environments.
• Must-have: Practical experience debugging memory and platform issues (e.g., reset/boot/low-power flows, GDDR/LPDDR) and system interactions.
• Must-have: Scripting proficiency (e.g., Python) for test automation and debugging.
• Nice-to-have: Familiarity with CI and debugging tools and frameworks (e.g., Jenkins, GDB, WinDbg), version control (Git), and issue tracking (JIRA).
• Nice-to-have: Experience with server architectures, platform validation, and low-power management.
• Other: Strong analytical, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Education Requirements

Minimum: Bachelor's degree in a relevant field plus 9+ years of related experience; OR Master's degree plus 6+ years; OR Ph.D. plus 4+ years working in GPU validation, silicon debugging, or related domains. The posting specifies a degree in a relevant field but does not list specific disciplines.
