• Proven ability to mix and deploy hybrid techniques as in both directed and constrained random.
• Experience with different ways to bug and coverage hunting. Experience in formal methods is a plus.
• Must be able to work independently to develop test-plans, and related test-sequences to generate stimuli and work collaboratively with RTL designers to debug failures.
• Identify and write all types of coverage measures for stimulus and corner-cases. Close coverage to identify verification holes for high quality tape-out.
  
  

Preferred Experience

• Working experience with scripting tools (Perl/Python) to automate verification infrastructure.
• Prior experience using Verification IPs from 3rd party vendors with one or more communication protocols such as PCI-Express (Gen-3 and above), Ethernet, InfiniBand, DDR4/5, NVMe, USB, etc.
• Working experience with scripting tools (Perl/Python) to automate verification infrastructure.
• Experience with directed test based methodologies, cache verification and formal methods.
