Responsibilities

• Plan verification strategies for complex digital design blocks by thoroughly understanding design specifications and collaborating with design engineers to identify critical verification scenarios.
• Build constrained-random verification environments utilizing SystemVerilog and Universal Verification Methodology (UVM).
• Define and implement comprehensive coverage metrics targeting stimulus and corner cases.
• Debug test failures alongside design engineers to ensure functionally correct design blocks.
• Achieve coverage closure to identify verification gaps and demonstrate progress toward tape-out.

Qualifications

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 4 years of experience working with verification methodologies and languages, including SystemVerilog and UVM.
• Experience with interconnect protocols such as AXI, APB, and ACE.
• Experience building and maintaining verification test benches, test cases, and test environments.

Preferred qualifications:

• Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture.
• Experience managing the full verification life cycle, from initial test planning through coverage closure.
• Expertise in advanced verification methodologies and techniques (including UVM, formal verification, and UPF-based power simulations) to ensure bug-free silicon in complex SoCs.
• Strong problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively in a team setting.
