About the Role & Team:
- As part of the Design Verification Engineering Team, you will verify the critical circuitry inside our chips for the general market and specific tier-one customers. These chips utilize cutting-edge technology to facilitate high-speed data transfers. You will play a vital role in ensuring each design meets stringent customer specifications across major telecom, automotive, and technology sectors.
- In this role, you will develop the architecture for functional verification environments—including reference models and bus-functional monitors and drivers—and actively contribute to the underlying verification methodologies.
- Test Planning & Development: Write detailed verification test plans using random techniques and coverage analysis; collaborate with design teams to ensure plan completeness.
- Environment Optimization: Develop targeted tests and tune the verification environment to successfully achieve coverage goals.
- Debugging: Debug test failures and work directly with designers to resolve underlying chip issues.
- Firmware & Multi-Core Tooling: Verify boot code and architect, develop, and maintain software tools that streamline the design of state-of-the-art multi-core SoCs.
- Scalable Software Engineering: Transform engineering requirements into highly parallel, scalable, and user-friendly software infrastructure tools.
- Software QA: Perform comprehensive unit and regression testing of internal software tools.
Education & Experience:
- Education: BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Engineering.
- Experience: 10–12 years of relevant professional experience in hardware verification and software/firmware development.
- Methodologies: Strong proficiency with SystemVerilog and UVM.
- Environment Building: Proven experience writing detailed test plans and building sophisticated, directed, and constrained-random verification environments.
- Protocols: Prior working knowledge of UAL or PCIe protocols.
- Scripting & EDA: Experience with scripting languages like Python or Perl alongside industry-standard EDA verification tools.
- Software Design: Experience with Object-Oriented Design (OOD) and implementation.
- Operating Systems: Good technical understanding of the Linux OS.
- Programming: Solid programming skills, specifically in C and ARM assembly.
- Diligent, detail-oriented, and highly proactive with the ability to handle complex assignments with minimal supervision.
- Collaborative mindset with the ability to accept, process, and work with differing engineering opinions (must be an open-minded developer).
- Dynamic learner who can adapt quickly on the fly within a fast-paced environment.
