ArmJob Title
Principal DV Engineer - Interconnect (Silent)
Role Summary
Join the Neoverse interconnect verification team responsible for the coherent mesh network used in servers, networking, storage and AI systems. The role focuses on architecting and implementing verification strategies and SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches to validate complex interconnect, cache-coherent and memory subsystem features.
Experience Level
Senior — typically 7+ years of hands-on verification or RTL design experience is expected.
Responsibilities
Primary duties include planning and executing verification for interconnect IP and driving methodology improvements.
- Build and maintain detailed verification plans and strategies.
- Work with architects and designers to debug and implement new features across partners.
- Architect and develop efficient SystemVerilog/UVM-based testbenches.
- Design stimulus and coverage, debug functional regression failures, and close coverage gaps.
- Develop and drive improvements in verification methodology.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience.
- 7+ years of hands-on experience in verification or RTL design.
- CPU microarchitecture experience, including cache coherence, memory systems, and bus protocols (e.g. AMBA CHI, ACE).
- Experience specifying, creating, and debugging SystemVerilog/UVM constrained-random testbenches.
- Proven ability to debug cross-team integration issues and work with architects/designers.
Nice-to-have:
- Applied experience with PCIe or Compute Express Link (CXL).
- Exposure to formal verification techniques or scripting with Python/Perl.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Electrical/Computer Engineering or Computer Science (or equivalent technical degree).
