• Assist in developing or modifying synthesizable RTL modules using Verilog or SystemVerilog according to approved specifications and design guidelines.

• Contribute to digital sub-system functions such as processor interfaces, interrupts, debug-related control, memory or bus interfaces, and sub-system integration, depending on project assignment.

• Contribute to digital sub-system functions supporting platform safety, security, protection, error handling, access control, or system supervision, depending on project assignment.

• Assist in preparing design descriptions, interface information, timing behavior, and traceability between requirements, specifications, RTL, and verification items.

• Assist in subsystem integration, interface connectivity checking, compile checks, configuration management, and design-release activities.

• Contribute to verification planning and the development of basic test cases, assertions, checkers, and regression tests for assigned functions.

• Analyze simulation results and support the review of lint, CDC/RDC, synthesis, DFT, static timing, formal verification, coverage, or low-power verification results according to project assignment.

• Investigate technical issues, reproduce failures, identify root causes with guidance, and document corrective actions, side-effect checks, and verification evidence.

• Develop and maintain simple automation scripts using Python, Tcl, Perl, Shell, or similar languages to improve quality and productivity.

• Maintain technical documents, review records, change records, verification reports, and lessons learned.

• Collaborate with engineers in Vietnam, Japan, and other global locations, and participate in peer reviews, technical training, and knowledge sharing.
