Responsibilities

Execute and lead functional verification activities for CPU load/store functionality and related infrastructure.

• Design and execute directed and random test suites at behavioral RTL level across SoC, core and block hierarchies.
• Develop verification environments, infrastructure, and test plans for full-chip and standalone block verification and debug.
• Implement and maintain automated regression infrastructure for functional verification.
• Develop, run and debug x86 assembly based directed tests and random exercisers to validate functionality.
• Resolve simulation discrepancies and assertion failures for behavioral and gate-level models.
• Analyze coverage results and implement actions to close coverage gaps.
• Support next-generation LSDC rewrite and related verification projects.
• Provide project definition, training, and documentation; collaborate with architects and RTL designers.

Requirements

Key technical skills and experience required or strongly preferred for the role.

• Must-have:
  • Proven experience in load-store verification for microprocessor designs and strong foundation in CPU architecture.
  • Experience leading verification execution or technical leadership in load-store verification.
  • Proficiency with Verilog/SystemVerilog and HDL-based verification techniques.
  • Programming skills in C/C++ and Perl; familiarity with assembly programming (x86).
  • Experience developing verification infrastructure, automated regressions, and test environments; strong debug skills.
• Nice-to-have:
  • Logic simulation experience and direct experience with Verilog simulators.
  • Experience with coverage-driven verification and coverage analysis tools.

Education Requirements
