Designs, develops, validates, and/or debugs software abstractions and frameworks for acceleration with FPGAs to support embedded, data center, and communication clients
Collaborate with architects and design engineers to understand IP specifications and define comprehensive verification strategies and detailed test plans
Develop robust, reusable, and constrained-random verification environments using SystemVerilog and UVM (Universal Verification Methodology)
Create and implement directed and random test cases and test sequences to exercise design functionality and uncover potential bugs
Develop verification components, including drivers, monitors, scoreboards, and checkers
Utilize SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) and formal verification methods to enhance bug detection and verify complex properties
Execute simulation regressions, debug test failures, analyze root causes, and work with designers to implement corrective measures
Define and track functional and code coverage metrics to ensure verification completeness and drive coverage closure
Develop automation scripts and infrastructure using languages like Python or Perl to improve verification efficiency and flows
Participate in technical reviews of specifications, design documents, and test plans, providing valuable input and feedback.
