Lead and manage a team of design verification engineers, cultivating a culture of collaboration, accountability, and innovation
Define Project Specific Verification Strategy: Defines and implement scalable and reusable verification plans, test benches, and the verification environments for blocks, subsystems, and SoCs. Ensure meeting the required coverage levels and confirm to microarchitecture specifications.
Lead Verification Execution: Create detailed test plans and drives technical reviews with design and architecture teams to validate these plans and proofs.
Executes verification plan: Implement and run block/subsystem/cluster/soc simulation models to verify the design, analyze power and performance, and identify bugs.
Investigate and Resolve Bugs: Replicates, root causes, and debugs issues in the pre-silicon environment. Finds and implements corrective measures to resolve failing tests.
Collaborate Across Teams: Work closely with chiplet architects, micro architects, full chip architects, RTL developers, post-silicon, and physical design teams to improve verification of complex architectural and microarchitectural features.
Absorbs learnings: From post-silicon on the quality of validation done during pre-silicon development, updates test plan for missing coverages and proliferates to future products.
Lead and mentor others: inspire and guide junior engineers, fostering their growth and development.
Requirements
Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or in other relevant STEM related degree.
6+ years of experience in ASIC/FPGA design verification
Strong understanding of object-oriented programming (OOP) principles and their application in SystemVerilog UVM or other verification methodologies.
Developing UVM and/or Formal based verification architectures and methodologies.
Experience with industry standard protocols (AMBA AXI/AXI-S/CHI and communication protocols (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet, UART, SPI, I2C/I3C))
Hands-on experience with simulators (Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium, or equivalent).
Familiarity with coverage-driven verification, constrained-random testing and strong debugging skills.
