CAREERS IN SOFTWARE - QUALITY ASSURANCE/ VALIDATION/TEST ENGINEER

Overview

At Intel, we expect our products to perform to the highest possible standards — ours. That’s why we employ thousands of incredibly smart software experts to poke holes, challenge assumptions and validate performance for every product that runs on Intel architecture. Our validation engineers have expertise in every arena, including applications, middleware, silicon co-design, software services, software developer tools, firmware, OS/kernel, graphics and media. From simulation to validation to process quality, we look for issues at every level, so our customers can count on combined software and hardware solutions that perform as close to perfectly as possible.

What You'll Do

As an Intel validation engineer, you’ll define, develop and automate new software validation environments and test programs to evaluate the integration of multiple applications. From creating new test approaches and improving existing processes to performing software-level debugging, you’ll be responsible for deep analysis of product architecture for ongoing improvements.

In quality assurance, you’ll define quality plans including quality/release criteria and targets. You will also track progress against quality goals and lead process improvement activities.
