Job Description: Design Verification (Performance) Engineer
Location: AUSTIN (US:73301), TX
Hybrid role
'Expectations include:
The candidate is expected to develop in depth understanding of chip architecture and define/ develop performance verification scenarios to test design/ architecture and report bottlenecks/ optimization opportunities.
The test cases should cover system scenarios/ benchmarks which stress target path/ feature as well as subsystem analysis.
The reference metrics to qualify the results needs to be synthesized based on references from system architecture team, software team, IP team, industry standards or defined based on abstract use case descriptions available as part of design requirements.
Strong skills in debug, failure re-creation and root cause analysis
Work with peer teams to correlate performance metrics across different platforms (TLM, RTL, Emulation, Silicon validation, applications).
Working with cross domains - IP owners, Systems and Core design teams to achieve performance verification objectives.
Job Qualifications
Experience in below areas is needed
