GPU Software Development Engineer at Intel
Khushboo Kumari Yadav is a GPU Software Development Engineer at Intel Corporation with 7+ years of experience specializing in customer enablement, graphics platform validation, and industry standards implementation. Based in Santa Clara, California, she serves as the primary technical interface for OEM/ODM customers, driving strategic operations planning, cross-functional leadership, and delivering customer-centric solutions across Intel's Gen9 through Xe2 Graphics platforms.
At Intel Corporation (January 2018 - Present), promoted from Software Engineer to Graphics Software Engineer to Graphics Software Development Engineer, Khushboo serves as the primary technical interface for OEM/ODM customers addressing graphics-related issues and features on Intel platforms spanning Gen9 through Xe2 Graphics. She represents customer-reported issues and debug findings in internal forums, driving closure through active collaboration with engineering and validation teams. She leads enablement of new industry and Intel graphics features including DisplayPort 2.1 and HDMI 2.1, ensuring Intel platforms perform according to governing entity specifications and operate seamlessly with vendor ecosystem partners. She organizes and participates in vendor/customer workshops, plugfests, and co-locations to resolve complex customer issues, unblock design launches, and ensure ecosystem readiness. She guides customers through external port compliance certifications (Type-C, Thunderbolt, HDMI, DisplayPort) with third-party labs and creates comprehensive technical specifications, requirement documents, and customer communications for graphics features across all platforms.
Her exceptional achievements include leading premium customer designs to market launch with zero graphics blocker issues during the first release cycle—making history in two decades—and enabling customer dual-display designs that won multiple awards at CES 2020 and CES 2021. She successfully enabled critical new graphics features like HDMI 2.0 on customer designs with zero launch blocker issues, executed the first-ever DP2.1 Plugfest with customer teams, and contributed to root-causing Dell MST hub dock issues that helped Dell release MTL platform Early Enabling designs. She won the Best Demo Award during an Intel internal event and made internal tools ready for new panel technology (COG MSO) for compliance testing.
Her outstanding contributions have earned her nine Intel Spontaneous Recognition Awards with cash prizes, one Intel Department Recognition Award for demonstrating commitment by supporting lab activities with office presence during pandemic lockdown while peers worked remotely, and approximately 25,000 recognition points plus multiple e-cards from peer team members and Intel employees. She received the Dewang Mehta IT Awards 2015 by NASSCOM and Gujarat Technological University for top rank in college.
