Job description

Complete ownership of IP/subsystem/SOC DV ownership right from spec definition till the post silicon verification and solving the customer issues on need basis. This includes:

• Active involvement with architecture team during the spec definition phase
• Verification strategy definition along with Verification plan to meet 100% spec to regression traceability along with signoff metrics
• SubSystem/SOC verification covering functional and Firmware scenarios in RTL/PARTL, GLS/PAGLS modes.
• DV Environment ownership: TB development/enhancements including checkers and coverage monitor definitions along with DV flow updates as per the project needs
• Active collaboration with cross functional teams -Architecture, RTL, PD, DFT, Systems, Analog, FW and application teams -to enable the Verification goals for IP/Subsystem/SOC starting from spec definition till post silicon verification closure activities
• Final SoC DV signoff based on Regressions, coverage metrics, DV to spec traceability using C and/or SV-UVM adhering to ISO26262 guidelines

Qualifications:

3- 5 of DV experience in SS/SOC/Post silicon DV with a Bachelor or Master’s degree in EE/ECE/CS or related specializations

Skills:

• Experience in one or many of the following: C based SOC DV, scripting (Python/Perl/Shell) knowledge, DV flow ownership for functional/Formal verification, UVM/System Verilog deep understanding, AMS/GLS/PAGLS/CPF/UPF based verification, Post silicon verification etc.
• Strong in digital design fundamentals, computer organization & architectures and bus protocols
• Excellent debugging skills with Verilog/VHDL designs
• Thorough knowledge in one or many of the standard protocols. Ex: AXI, AHB, APB, CAN, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, UART, PSI5, Flexray etc
• Work experience on C based environment with ARM/DSP multi-processor-based systems including the power aware simulations is a big plus
• Good problem-solving skills
• Experience with Cadence tools (Xcelium/vManager/Formal applications/safety simulator) or similar tools/DV flows
• Exposure to CDC DV, Post silicon verification and functional safety is an added advantage
• Effective communication skills to interact seamlessly with all stakeholders
• Must be highly focused and remain committed to obtaining closure on project goals
