Silicon Design Verification Engineer
Advanced Micro DevicesJob Title
Silicon Design Verification Engineer
Role Summary
Join the AMD SoC Verification team to develop and execute verification environments for complex IP and subsystem designs. Work primarily on UVM/SystemVerilog-based testbenches, focusing on functional, performance, and power-aware verification.
Experience Level
Mid-level. No specific years of experience stated.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include creating verification plans, implementing testbenches, and collaborating with design engineers to close functional and coverage gaps.
- Create test plans for complex IP and subsystem designs in collaboration with senior verification and RTL engineers.
- Design and implement SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches and constrained-random or directed tests.
- Develop and maintain SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) and use formal verification tools where appropriate.
- Debug failures with RTL engineers to deliver functionally correct design blocks and improve pass rates.
- Coordinate with RTL teams to verify clock-gating, power-aware behavior, and other design aspects.
- Track and report verification quality metrics such as pass rates, code coverage, and functional coverage.
Requirements
Must-have and preferred technical skills and experience.
- Strong experience with SystemVerilog and UVM-based verification environments.
- Practical skills in writing tests, debugging, and closing functional and coverage gaps.
- Experience with SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) and familiarity with formal verification tools.
- Programming/scripting skills in C/C++ and Python for testbench and automation tasks.
- Good understanding of computer organization, processor architecture, digital logic, and RTL implementation.
Nice-to-have:
- Experience with protocols such as PCIe or AMBA AXI.
- Prior industry experience with UVM at the project or product level.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering.
