Change the world. Love your job.
This Design Verification Engineer role offers the opportunity to drive, define, and utilize industry leading design verification methodologies, tools, and flows to ensure that differentiated SoCs and IP meet all functional and quality specifications. You will be expected to learn the SoC/IP functionality and the system context to build comprehensive verification test plans and milestone-based schedules. This role offers the opportunity to learn the complex SoC development process and interact with various functional teams spanning systems, design, software, and applications. The set of IPs covers Multimedia IPs, Vision IPs, Data movement IPs, interconnect, safety, security, Realtime functionality and broader infrastructure IPs to help develop Embedded Processors.
You will work with an IP DV team driving verification while helping to find innovative solutions to customers’ problems through “out of the box thinking” to deliver highly differentiated products. Candidates must have both good communication skills and solid digital design verification experience. IP design verification team will have a charter to verify infrastructure IP’s enabling automotive and industrial processors. You will interface with various engineering teams within Processor including SoC design, verification, validation, test, systems, SW, applications and marketing to successfully help verify new IPs from concept to design. Expertise in Data movement and bus protocols (AMBA, OCP etc) is must and knowledge of interrupt, security, safety, coherence is desirable. You will be a core member in the IP design team driving flawless execution
Job Responsibilities:
Architecting, developing, and driving module and system-level test strategies, performance validation, verification plans, testbenches, functional models, and test cases.Promoting and advancing verification methodologies for complex digital logic using C/UVM testbenches, ranging from block-level to full system/SoC.Creating, executing, enhancing, and debugging simulation test cases using coverage-driven, constrained-random stimulus.Defining and implementing functional coverage and driving coverage closure.Debugging complex designs to identify the root cause of problems.Collaborating across verification teams to promote the reuse of components.Verifying SoCs in emulation environments and performing post-silicon verification, characterization, and debug.Interfacing with third-party vendors to help drive delivery milestones and quality.Working closely with IP verification teams to help build IP verification plans and tests, and to support functional debugging.Supporting IP during silicon bring-up activities, test program development, customer engagement, and silicon/application debug.
As a member of the Embedded Processors team, you will be working on state-of-the-art processors and microcontrollers to make the world smarter, safer, and greener. These products are the heart of autonomous vehicles, intelligent robots, electric vehicles, and energy efficient homes and push the boundaries of technology integrating high-speed interface controllers, networking accelerators, deep learning accelerators, DSPs, ARM/RISC-V compute cores, vision analytics, security, and multimedia. You will help build products that will transform the world by making technology reachable, affordable and accessible for all.
Minimum Requirements
