• Develop verification plans traceable to system and hardware requirements.
• Author SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) for protocol checks.
• Build functional coverage models and drive code coverage to closure.
• Develop constrained-random and transaction-level test sequences to maximize coverage and uncover corner-case bugs.
• Establish and maintain regression suites, tracking coverage metrics and verification progress.
• Debug failures using waveform tools and simulation logs at HDL and system level.
• Collaborate with design engineers on RTL reviews, bug resolution, and micro-architecture refinement.
• Support hardware validation and board bring-up on target platforms.
• Ensure verification meets DO-254 and relevant safety standards.
• Author verification closure reports and coverage analysis summaries.
