IP/SoC Verification Lead

We are hiring a ASIC Verification Engineer to help contribute to rapidly expanding and innovative chip designs in both 7nm and 5nm process technologies. We are developing cutting-edge domain specific processors for the IAAS and smart-switch markets that leverage the P4 programming language to provide software-defined features and scale but with hard-wired performance attributes. Applications include advanced PCIe, networking, storage, and security virtualization services for both the public and private cloud markets.

THE ROLE:

In this role, you will be responsible for defining test strategies and plans, developing test benches and test cases, and debugging designs helping with micro-architecture.

You will participate in design verification methodology definition as we'll as contribute to design verification infrastructure that facilitates maximum re-use of components, improves productivity, and guarantees to the maximum extent possible, bug-free designs. Your work and skills will be leveraged across module-level, full chip, emulation, prototyping, silicon bring-up, manufacturing diagnostics, compilers, and shipping platform software.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• With your solid knowledge and understanding of Computer Architecture you will be:
• Developing and executing test plans for Unit/IP/Subsystem/ SOC level verification
• System Verilog test bench development including stimulus, checkers, transactors/BFMs, assertions and cover points
• Identifying bugs in architecture, functionality and performance with strong overall debug and analytical skills

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

Languages and tools:

• UVM, System Verilog, C or C++
• System Verilog simulators and waveform debuggers
• Experience developing and executing test plans for Unit/IP/Subsystem/ SOC level verification
• Experience in System Verilog test bench development including stimulus, checkers, transactors/BFMs, assertions and cover points
• Experience identifying bugs in architecture, functionality and performance with strong overall debug and analytical skills
• Exposure to design and verification tools (VCS or equivalent simulation tools, debug tools like Debussy/DVE)
• Solid knowledge and understanding of Computer Architecture
• Excellent debugging and problem-solving skills

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• BSEE or equivalent. MSEE preferred
