• Provide technical guidance and innovative ideas to improve quality, processes, and productivity.
• Help drive the strategic roadmap that scales the overall verification and team capacity across multiple product generations.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Experience leading verification teams on complex CPU/ASIC projects from inception to tape-out.
• Solid understanding and experience of functional design verification, including but not limited to test bench architecture, coverage, random constrained testing, and debug.
• Excellent organizational, communication, and project management skills.
• History of successfully managing project dependencies and deliverables with internal customers across a board range of steps across verification deliverables.
• Future planning designed to build deeper, cohesive technical ownership for specific, complex verification components that will be reused for multiple generations, thereby improving quality and reducing ramp-up time.
