WHO WE ARE
Platform Enabling is the leading edge of all new platform driver development across integrated and discrete graphics.
Development is not limited to a specific area of functionality in the driver - a successful Platform Enabling engineer will need to be able to work across all areas of the graphics driver functionality (Display, Core/MM, SRIOV, GuC/PnP, Media, etc.) to adapt existing driver functionality to HW changes in upcoming platforms.
Platform Enabling is the front line of Linux Graphics SW Power On execution for all platforms both client side and server side. Platform Enabling works across all phases of a program, responsible for initial pre-silicon (simulation and emulation) bring-up of the driver, to first silicon Power On execution, to post-silicon development and bug fixing on HW.
A successful Platform Enabling engineer will need to be comfortable working on the internal driver to meet needs across pre-silicon and early HW enabling for Intel internal partners business units and external Intel partners, as well as being comfortable working directly with the upstream community and maintainers to upstream new platform patches and coordinate implementation of significant driver changes.
This position is not eligible for Intel immigration sponsorship.
You must possess the below minimum qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.

Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field with 6+ months relevant experience or Master's degree in the same fields.
Relevant work experience should be of the following:
Experience with Linux kernel development and debugging
Experience with Open Source project/community interaction and contribution
Experience to ramp quickly in new areas of functionality
Experience with Systems programming experience in C
Experience with the fundamental concepts of Graphics, Display, Compute, and Media
GIT experience
Preferred Qualifications:
Direct contribution to upstream Linux kernel
Experience in Linux HW driver development - directly interacting with/driving HW
Deep git experience, including branch manipulation, patch cherry-picking, rebasing, and resolving patch conflicts
Understanding of/experience with Display HW and signaling
Understanding of/experience with device memory management
Understanding of/experience with GPU command execution
Familiarity with/contributions to the Linux DRM subsystem and drivers
Understanding of all components in a typical Open Source Graphics/Compute/Media SW stack
Experience with a scripting language such as bash or python
Experience with Linux kernel power management flows
Experience working in simulation and emulation environments
Excellent communication and cross-org coordination skills, especially during high-stress/pressure environments such as initial silicon Power On
Requirements listed would be obtained through a combination of industry relevant job experience, internship experiences and or schoolwork/classes/research.
