Responsibilities
Key responsibilities include planning and executing verification tasks and improving verification infrastructure and processes.
- Define and implement self-checking testcases from functional requirements.
- Contribute to verification infrastructure and automation components.
- Plan verification activities and execute detailed verification plans.
- Triage regressions and debug RTL and gate-level simulations.
- Analyze functional and code coverage and drive actions to achieve closure.
- Collaborate with design and verification teams, both local and remote.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and attributes; nice-to-have items noted separately.
- Must-have: Knowledge of SystemVerilog and UVM for digital verification.
- Experience with Synopsys and/or Cadence simulation tools.
- Experience with SystemVerilog assertions, functional coverage, and code coverage.
- Ability to triage regressions and debug RTL and gate-level simulations.
- Comfortable working in a Unix/Linux environment.
- Effective communicator and team player; fast learner able to work with minimal supervision.
- Eligible to meet applicable U.S. and Canadian export control requirements (export-license screening may be required).
- Nice-to-have: Exposure to mixed-signal verification or PLL ASIC designs; experience improving verification infrastructure and automation.
