Senior Systems Simulation Engineer

Background The Systems, Software & Simulation (S3E) engineering team is part of Intel's Product Enablement Solutions Group (PESG) – a team at the forefront of transforming how Intel's product firmware and software are developed, integrated, tested, and validated in a modern cloud computing environment. We build high-performance system simulators that serve as the foundation for Intel's future products – enabling architecture and software validation before silicon commitment, driving leadership products, and accelerating time-to-market. We are seeking a strategic consultant partnership with a company that brings deep expertise in system simulation (Simics preferred), modeling, SW-FW and platform integration and AI-driven methodologies to complement and accelerate our execution capabilities across data center and client and network programs. Scope of Engagement: The consultant partner will be expected to support the following key areas: 1. IP & Subsystem Modeling • Develop and maintain high-fidelity IP and subsystem models aligned with Intel architecture specifications • Build and validate functional simulation models supporting SW/FW bring-up and validation • Support platform model integration across multiple IP domains • Experience with Simics or equivalent simulation platforms strongly preferred • Ability to work with architecture specifications to develop accurate and scalable models. Domain expertise with boot, reset, power management, CXL, crash log, security, RAS [Reliability, Availability and Serviceability], debug, RDT(resource directory technology) is preferred. 2. Test Case Development • Develop comprehensive test cases for IP, subsystem, and platform-level validation • Build and maintain regression test suites ensuring stability and consistency across releases • Support critical domain (not limited to) boot, reset, power management, and system flow test case development • Experience with validation frameworks and continuous integration environments • Ability to develop scalable and reusable test content across multiple platforms and architectures 3. System Debug & SW/FW Integration • Provide expertise in system-level debug across hardware, firmware, and software layers • Support SW/FW integration activities including bring-up, feature enablement, and issue resolution • Drive root cause analysis and resolution of complex system-level issues • Experience debugging across BIOS, firmware, OS, and driver layers • Ability to work effectively with architecture, design, and validation teams 4. AI-Based Methodologies • Experience with LLM-based tools and AI frameworks applied to simulation and validation workflows • Ability to develop, deploy, and continuously improve AI-based methodologies in day-to-day engineering work 5. Cloud Computing & CI/CD Integration • Experience working in modern cloud computing environments • Ability to integrate simulation and validation workflows into CI/CD pipelines • Experience with containerization, orchestration, and cloud-based simulation infrastructure • Support continuous integration across multiple programs and platforms
