2. You understand product-level architecture.
3. Exercise judgment within defined standards and consult with management.
4. Promote collaboration with team members.

Minimum Qualifications:

1. Bachelor's degree in electrical or computer science or computer engineering with 7 years of related experience or Master's in electrical or computer science or computer engineering combined with 5 years of related experience.
2. Experience in System Verilog/UVM.
3. Experience with ASIC design and verification processes, debugging, methodology, and tools.
4. Experience in verifying blocks/clusters/full chip level for ASIC.

Preferred:

1. Post-silicon lab bring-up experience is a plus.
