Responsibilities

  • Develop verification plans and test plans for digital intellectual properties (IPs) and subsystems. 
  • Create and utilize verification components and testbench environments for digital logic at RTL using SystemVerilog and industry-standard methodologies such as VMM, OVM, or UVM.
  • Execute gate-level simulations (GLS) and Unified Power Format (UPF)-based power simulations, performing debugging to deliver high-performance and low-power hardware. 
  • Drive coverage-driven verification strategies to ensure complete verification closure for ASICs or FPGAs.
  • Utilize scripting languages like Perl or Python to create automation and support various verification techniques.

Qualifications

Minimum qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 8 years of experience verifying digital logic at RTL using SystemVerilog for ASICs or FPGAs.
  • Experience verifying digital IP and subsystems.
  • Experience working with design verification (DV) testbenches or environments.

Preferred qualifications:

  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Experience with verification planning, testplan development, and coverage-driven verification closure.
  • Experience creating and using verification components in VMM, OVM, or UVM.
  • Experience with UPF-based power simulations and gate-level simulation (GLS) debugging.
  • Familiarity with ASIC standard interfaces (e.g., MIPI, ARM AMBA, UART, I2C) and scripting languages like Perl or Python.
