Job description

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Digital Verification Engineer to join our Design Centre in Edinburgh, Scotland or Milan, Italy. Critical to Allegro's new product development plans, the Centre designs advanced power control IC's for a broad range of product applications. Allegro are recognised world-wide as providing state-of-the-art automotive power integrated circuits. You will be part of a new verification team which collaborates on the verification of gate-driver ICs and embedded SoCs based on innovative new core architectures.

What You’ll Do

• Developing comprehensive verification plans based on detailed microarchitecture specifications.

• Creating and maintaining SystemVerilog/UVM-based verification environments to achieve required coverage metrics.

• Defining and creating UVM-SV test environments, test plans, tests, and functional coverage.

• Analyzing test results, enhancing test coverage, and debugging unexpected design behavior.

• Running and maintaining regression test suites.

• Preparing and/or leading verification reviews.

• Collaborating with the System Engineering team on JAMA requirements.

• Identifying functional coverage conditions derived from microarchitecture specifications.

• Building mixed-signal testbenches, checkers, and tests.

• Implementing constrained random verification methodologies.

• Developing bus-functional models for verifying custom or industry-standard interfaces.

• Defining project deliverables and tasks, and tracking their on-time execution with a strong focus on quality.

Who You Are

• The successful candidate will possess at least a Bachelors degree in Electrical and/or Electronic Engineering or equivalent.

• Languages: System Verilog, Verilog, UVM/OVM, Specman, C/C++, ASM, TCL/TK, Python

• Knowledge of the embedded SoC design and verification life-cycle with an emphasis on design verification tasks such as: test plan development, test bench creation, test coverage analysis and debug of unexpected design behaviour.

• Knowledge of CPU, Memory or I/O Subsystem microarchitectures (caches, virtual memory, DMA, memory access optimizations).

• Experience identifying functional coverage conditions based on microarchitecture specifications

• Experience of SystemVerilog digital using UVM -SV

• Expertise building Mixed-Signal testbenches, checkers and tests.

• Expertise creating and using real-numbered analog behavioral models in SystemVerilog/Verilog-AMS or electrical behavioral models in Verilog-A

• Experience of script generation for processing results as well as regression control configuration

• Experience of constrained random verification.

• Experience of bus-functional model development for verification of custom or industry-standard interfaces.

• Experience defining team deliverables and tasks, tracking on time execution with a focus on quality.
