Job Description:

As a Design verification Lead, you will be responsible to lead SoC architecture verification including creating verification strategy, developing test cases and test bench using UVM methodology. Capacity could include full chip and/or system functional verification with defining verification strategies, methodology and test plan to enable effective verification. Coordinate cross functional efforts with Design, SW, Architecture team to achieve full coverage verification plan. Using system full application to verify performance and identify short falls. You will be driving a team towards project execution and delivery.

Responsibility:

  • Lead pre-silicon verification strategy and execution for SoC verification
  • Performs functional logic verification at multiple levels ( block, subsystem and full chip )
  • Defines and develops scalable and reusable block, subsystem, and SoC verification plans, test benches, and the verification environment to meet the required level of coverage and confirm to microarchitecture specifications. 
  • Documents, reviews, and executes the verification strategy plan on different methodologies/techniques (e.g., gate-level-simulation strategy, power patterns/aware simulations) used to enable feature coverage as per the microarchitecture specifications.
  • Executes verification plans and defines and runs system simulation models to verify the FPGA design, analyze power and timing, and uncover bugs.
  • Replicates, root causes, and debugs post-si issues in the pre-silicon environment.
  • Absorbs learning from post-silicon on the quality of validation done during pre-silicon development, updates test plan for missing coverages, and proliferates to future products
  • Complete verification life cycle (verification architecture, test plan, execution, debug, coverage closure).
