At STMicroelectronics, we believe in the power of technology to drive innovation and make a positive impact on people, businesses, and society. As a global semiconductor company, our advanced technologies and chips form the hidden foundation of the world we live in today.

When you join ST, you will be part of a global business with more than 115 nationalities, present in 40 countries, and comprising over 50,000 diverse and dedicated creators and makers of technology around the world.

Developing technologies takes more than talent: it takes amazing people who understand collaboration and respect. People with passion and the desire to disrupt the status quo, drive innovation, and unlock their own potential.

Embark on a journey with us, where you can innovate for a future that we want to make smarter and greener, in a responsible and sustainable way. Our technology starts with you.

YOUR ROLE

You will drive the introduction and industrialization of Generative AI in SoC and IP functional verification, with a strong emphasis on SoC-level verification flows and embedded software-driven validation.

You will act as a technical lead and hands-on contributor, defining and deploying AI-driven solutions that:

• Automate the generation of directed C testcases for execution on embedded CPUs in simulation and emulation environments
• Accelerate and systematize UVM collateral generation (sequences, drivers, monitors, scoreboards) using AI-assisted approaches
• Improve coverage closure efficiency through intelligent stimulus generation, analysis, and AI-assisted guidance
• Ensure all AI-generated artifacts comply with verifiable, traceable, and tool-integrated guardrails suitable for industrial SoC validation flows

You will actively leverage and evaluate developer-facing AI tools- including GitHub Copilot and Copilot-powered workflows to boost verification productivity while ensuring compliance with security, IP protection, and quality requirements.

You will work closely with design, verification, embedded software, and EDA teams to ensure tight integration of AI solutions into existing verification environments, simulators, CI/regression systems, and sign-off flows.

You will also:

• Define methodologies, best practices, and guardrails for the safe and reliable use of Generative AI in verification
• Evaluate and prototype AI tools, frameworks, and models relevant to RTL, UVM, and software-driven verification
• Contribute to the long-term roadmap for AI-augmented verification productivity at scale
• Collaborate with external partners, startups, and EDA vendors on advanced AI-based verification solutions
