IP Verification Engineer ARM CPU Subsystem

IP Verification Engineer – ARM CPU Subsystem

Location: Bengaluru

Experience: 6–10 Years

Role Overview

We are looking for an experienced IP Verification Engineer with strong expertise in ARM CPU Subsystem (CPUSS) verification, CHI coherency, interconnect protocols, and ARM subsystem debug/bring-up. The role involves verification of complex ARM-based IPs and subsystems across simulation, debug, and pre-silicon/post-silicon bring-up.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute verification strategies for ARM CPU Subsystems (CPUSS) and related IPs.
• Verify AMBA CHI coherency and interconnect protocols across complex subsystem configurations.
• Develop and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM-based verification environments, testbenches, and test scenarios.
• Validate cache coherency, ordering, transactions, QoS, interrupts, resets, and error scenarios.
• Debug complex subsystem failures across RTL, simulation, waveform, and protocol levels.
• Drive functional, protocol, and coverage closure for CPU subsystem verification.
• Support ARM subsystem bring-up and debug, including root-cause analysis of integration issues.
• Collaborate with RTL, Architecture, Firmware, Performance, and SoC teams to resolve design and verification issues.
• Develop automation and debug utilities using Python, Tcl, or scripting languages.

Core Technical Requirements

• 6–10 years of hands-on experience in IP/SoC Verification.
• Strong experience in ARM CPU Subsystem (CPUSS) verification.
• Deep understanding of AMBA CHI, coherency, interconnect, and transaction protocols.
• Strong knowledge of cache coherency, snoop transactions, memory ordering, and system-level interactions.
• Hands-on expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM.
• Experience with subsystem debug, integration, and bring-up.
• Strong skills in waveform/debug analysis, protocol debugging, and failure triage.
• Experience with simulation and verification tools such as VCS, Xcelium, Verdi, or equivalent.
• Strong understanding of ARM architecture and AMBA protocols.
• Scripting experience in Python/Tcl/Perl is desirable.
