Staff Design Verification Engineer - Coherent Interconnect
Role Summary
Join the team responsible for verification of the Arm Neoverse Coherent Mesh Network (CMN), a scalable system interconnect used in servers, storage, networking, HPC and AI platforms. The role focuses on planning and executing verification for next-generation interconnect IP and collaborating with architects and RTL designers to deliver correct silicon.
Experience Level
Senior - requires substantial prior experience; posting specifies 8+ years of hands-on verification/RTL design experience.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include delivering verification plans, creating testbenches and closing coverage for complex coherent interconnect logic.
- Develop and maintain detailed verification plans and strategies.
- Collaborate with architects and RTL designers to debug and implement new features, balancing multiple stakeholder requirements.
- Architect and implement efficient SystemVerilog / UVM based testbenches.
- Create stimulus and coverage models, debug functional regressions, and drive coverage closure.
- Drive improvements in verification methodology and flow.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience.
- 8+ years of hands-on experience in verification and RTL design.
- Experience with CPU microarchitecture, including cache coherence, memory systems, and bus protocols (e.g. AMBA CHI, ACE).
- Proven experience specifying, creating, and debugging SystemVerilog / UVM constrained-random testbenches.
- Strong debugging, problem-solving, and collaboration skills working with cross-functional engineering teams.
Nice-to-have:
- Applied experience with PCIe or Compute Express Link (CXL).
- Familiarity with formal verification techniques.
- Scripting experience (Python, Perl) to support automation and tooling.
