KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Work on functional verification execution from test plan to verification signoff.
• Collaborate with architects and designers to understand the IP features.
• Write/Implement/Review Test Plans.
• Verification of critical high speed digital designs using both coverage driven random and directed testing techniques as well as Formal verification.
• Own some or all aspects of the Verification flow from initial test planning to coverage convergence and sign-off closure for one or more features and aspects of Sub-System level IP interoperability.
• Build testbench components as well as developing test and sequence libraries, by applying Objected Oriented Programming Verification techniques following UVM methodology.
• Conduct and participate in Code Reviews.
• Technical leadership, including block ownership from start to finish and verification sign-off.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Proven experience in verifying commercially successful IPs, Subsystems and or SoCs.
• Strong ability to provide mentorship and guidance to junior and senior engineers, a very effective team player, must have strong technical skills and provide a positive influence on team morale and culture.
