Who are we?
An excellent opportunity for a creative and motivated student to be part of Intel's Core Group, doing exciting work in the development of next generation Core CPU. Intel's Core group is one of the most important domains with a large impact on Intel's CPU products and corporate profits. Core technology is highly evolving with a huge number of technologies being developed. The group makes use of state of the art C/C++ firmware tools while meeting very challenging timelines, quality, low power, code area and compute performance constraints. The Candidate who will join Intel's Core group to work on a pioneering project, aimed at optimizing Intel's core performance using cutting-edge power-management firmware.
What are we looking for?
Intel's Core group is looking for a Firmware (FW) Designer Intern to define, design (micro-architecture), code (C, Python), run and analyze an innovative core PTP (Power/Thermal/Performance) manager firmware using advanced firmware/software engineering methodologies. Job requires deep understanding of related units logic behavior and system understanding of the entire CPU in some level. The candidate will work in close interaction with Architects, verification team, integration and tools team, Core and SoC architects in the CPU. Expectation is to work through the entire firmware development cycle - from Pre-Si activities (simulation, emulation) till Post-Si activities (board bring-up).
In addition to various tools, languages and methodologies, interns will develop expertise with Intel Architecture and Micro Architecture and will be involved in the process of defining new Intel features. They are expected to be independent, creative, with the ability to innovate new solutions and demonstrate uncompromised quality during their work.
