An Entry Level Script Reader evaluates screenplays, writing coverage that summarizes the script's strengths, weaknesses, and potential for production. They provide feedback on structure, dialogue, pacing, and marketability to assist producers, agents, or executives in script selection. This role is often freelance or contract-based, serving as a stepping stone into the entertainment industry. Strong analytical skills, knowledge of screenplay format, and an understanding of storytelling are essential for success.
As an Entry Level Script Reader, your main responsibility is to review submitted screenplays and provide written coverage that summarizes the story, analyzes its strengths and weaknesses, and recommends whether it should move forward in the development process. You’ll often be working independently but will regularly communicate your findings with development executives or literary managers. Additional tasks may include assessing multiple scripts per week, attending occasional team meetings, and keeping up-to-date with current trends in film and television. This role is a great way to develop an eye for compelling material and can serve as a springboard to higher-level positions in development or production.
To thrive as an Entry Level Script Reader, you need strong analytical reading skills, a keen eye for story structure and character development, and typically a background in film, literature, or creative writing. Familiarity with screenplay formatting software like Final Draft or Celtx, as well as proficiency in using coverage templates and document sharing systems, is beneficial. Excellent written communication, time management, and the ability to deliver constructive feedback set standout candidates apart. These skills ensure you can efficiently evaluate scripts, provide valuable insights, and contribute effectively to development teams or production companies.

About Intel & Silicon Chassis
Intel is seeking an Entry Level Design Verification Engineer for the Silicon Chassis team. In this role, you will contribute to the verification of next-generation interconnect and chassis IPs that underpin Intel's most ambitious SoC and platform products.
Position Overview
You will work alongside senior engineers to build testbenches, write constrained-random tests, close functional coverage, and root-cause simulation failures - developing end-to-end verification skills from day one.
We look for engineers who think algorithmically, write clean code, and are excited to apply the latest AI-assisted development tools as a core part of how they work. You do not need to know everything on day one; you do need strong fundamentals, genuine curiosity, and the drive to ramp fast.
Key Responsibilities
Develop testbench components, constrained-random stimulus, and functional checkers for interconnect and chassis IP under guidance of senior engineers
Write, run, and debug simulation tests; analyze failures and root-cause issues to closure with clear technical write-ups
Contribute to functional coverage plans, coverage closure analysis, and regression triage
Participate in spec reviews, design discussions, and bug triage; learn to contribute across architecture, design, and software boundaries
Use AI-assisted coding and debugging tools as an everyday part of development workflow; actively contribute to the team's productivity through automation and scripting
Continuously build depth in hardware design, verification methodology, and the chip development flow
What We're Looking For
You should demonstrate the following professional traits to be successful:
Genuine curiosity and the drive to ramp fast
Algorithmic thinking with a commitment to writing clean code
Enthusiasm for applying the latest AI-assisted development tools as a core part of how you work
This position is not eligible for Intel immigration sponsorship.
Minimum Qualifications
BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science and 3+ months of Internship experience in a hardware design or verification environment
Foundation in logic design and digital circuits - required; ability to read and reason about RTL is essential
Demonstrated algorithmic thinking and software fundamentals application - required
Demonstrated proficiency in at least one of C/C++, Python, or SystemVerilog through coursework, projects, or internships
Coursework or project exposure to two or more of the following: computer architecture, parallel and distributed computing, operating systems, hardware/software interfaces, VLSI design
Demonstrated use of AI coding assistants as a regular part of coursework or project work - not occasional use, but as a genuine productivity tool
Preferred Qualifications
Coursework or project work in hardware verification, FPGA design, or RTL simulation (ModelSim, VCS, Questa, or similar)
Exposure to SystemVerilog, UVM concepts, or assertion-based verification through coursework, self-study, or internship
Familiarity with standard bus protocols (AXI, AHB, PCIe) or cache/memory hierarchy concepts
Demonstrated project work (senior design, research, hackathon, personal) involving hardware modeling, algorithm implementation in HDL, or hardware-software co-design
Comfort working in Linux environments, using version control (git), and writing build/test automation scripts
Worked experience in any related field
