KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Collaborate with architects, hardware engineers, and firmware engineers to understand the new features to be verified
• Estimate the time required to write the new feature tests and any required changes to the test environment
• Build directed and random verification tests
• Debug test failures to determine the root cause; work with RTL and firmware engineers to resolve design defects and correct any test issues
• Analyze and enhance legacy test plans to accommodate new Design for Debug feature developments
• Perform debug triage of failures from simulation and emulation environments for CORE and sub‑level regressions
• Develop assembly tests, C++ checkers to support new features
• Write complex Perl scripts to update simulation files in a deterministic manner
• Recreate post‑silicon failures in pre‑silicon environment
• Debug and resolve test cases in assembly languageConduct silicon debug and root cause analysis with minimal logging support
• Scope new features and execute comprehensive test planning cycles
• Utilize JTAG protocols for debugging and validation

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
