CPU Design Verification Engineer

Our organization is seeking a talented CPU Design Verification Engineer to join the team in County Cork, Ireland.

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with CPU and SoC Architects to understand system requirements and high-level design concepts.
• Create detailed test plans and coverage strategies based on the system architecture and micro-architecture.
• Develop scalable and portable verification methodologies for various environments.
• Build the verification environment.
• Design verification plans and testbenches specific to your functional domain.
• Execute verification plans.
• Monitor and report on DV progress using various metrics, including bug tracking and coverage analysis.

Requirements:

• Strong expertise in microprocessor verification, with a deep understanding of concepts like cache coherence, memory ordering and consistency, prefetching, branch prediction etc.
• Familiarity with Random Instruction Sequencing (RIS) for testing designs at both the block/unit level and subsystem/chip level to validate correctness.
