ASIC Design Verification Engineer

Role

As a member of the front-end verification team, you will help bring to life cutting-edge designs and work closely with the architecture, IP design, Physical Design teams, and product engineers to achieve first pass silicon success.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with architects, hardware engineers, and firmware engineers to understand the new features to be verified.
• Build test plan documentation, accounting for interactions with other features, the hardware, the firmware, and the software driver use cases.
• Decide on verification and reuse strategy and testbench architecture.
• Estimate the time required to write the new feature tests and any required changes to the test environment.
• Interact with project managers and system level DV teams to coordinate release schedules and feature staging.
• Build the directed and random verification tests.
• Debug test failures to determine the root cause; work with RTL and firmware engineers to resolve design defects and correct any test issues.
• Review functional and code coverage metrics – modify or add tests or constrain random tests to meet the coverage requirements.

Preferred Experience

• Proficient in IP level ASIC verification strategies.
• Proficient in debugging RTL code using simulation tools.
• Expert in the UVM concepts and SystemVerilog language.
• Proficient in architecting UVM testbenches and working in Linux and Windows environments.
• Experienced in developing UVM based verification frameworks and testbenches, processes and flows.
• Comfortable automating workflows in a distributed compute environment.
• Exposure to simulation profile, efficiency improvement, acceleration, formal verification.
• Scripting language experience: Perl, Python, Makefile, shell preferred.
• Exposure to leadership or mentorship is an asset.
• Prior exposure to networking protocols such as Ethernet, UAL, LLR, CBFC is desired.
• Experienced in using AI tools.
