Who You Are

• Concept-to-silicon experience in driving verification from an architecture and/or design specification to production silicon
• Experience with SystemVerilog, Python, C/C++, Bluespec and similar scripting and programming languages for verification and silicon modeling
• Production experience with advanced verification methodologies such as UVM, assertion-based verification (ABV); experience and comfort with formal and simulated verification are required
• Production experience with creating portable tests and drivers for verification that apply to silicon validation and post-silicon debug
• Strong understanding of silicon micro-architecture and design concepts used in high-performance compute (CPUs, GPUs, accelerators), high-speed connectivity, memory management and related functionalities
• Familiarity with emulation and prototyping platforms and methodologies is a plus
• Hands-on experience with participation in silicon debug and bring-up is a plus
