About The Role Performs functional logic verification of an integrated SoC to ensure design will meet specifications. Defines and develops scalable and reusable block, subsystem, and SoC verification plans, test benches, and the verification environment to meet the required level of coverage and confirm to microarchitecture specifications. Executes verification plans and defines and runs emulation and system simulation models to verify the design, analyze power and performance, and uncover bugs. Replicates, root causes, and debugs issues in the presilicon environment. Finds and implements corrective measures to resolve failing tests. Collaborates and communicates with SoC architects, microarchitects, full chip architects, RTL developers, postsilicon, and physical design teams to improve verification of complex architectural and microarchitectural features. Documents test plans and drives technical reviews of plans and proofs with design and architecture teams. Incorporates and executes security activities within test plans, including regression and debug tests, to ensure security coverage. Maintains and improves existing functional verification infrastructure and methodology. Absorbs learning from postsilicon on the quality of validation done during presilicon development, updates test plan for missing coverages, and proliferates to future products. Qualifications Minimum qualifications are required to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates. Minimum Qualifications Candidate should have a BS, MS or PhD in Electrical or Computer Science Engineering or related field with 15+ years of technical experience. Related technical experience should be in/withSilicon Design and/or Validation/Verification.Preferred Qualifications Design and/or Design Verification with developing, maintaining, and executing complex IPs and/or SOCs. Proficiency in UVM/SV constrained-random coverage based design verification. OVM/UVM, System Verilog, constrained random verification methodologies. The complete verification life cycle (verification architecture, test plan, execution, debug, coverage closure). Developing validation test suites and driving continuous improvement into existing validation test suites and methodologies. UVM/SV Verification IP architecture, development and validation experience. Robust understanding of fundamental principles of cache coherency in multi-processor SOCs, and experience with layered protocols - transaction layer, data link layer, and PHY layer. Experience with one or more scripting languages to facilitate automation. Strong debug skills and self-reliance in taking an issue to closure with internal and external partners. Takes ownership of assigned tasks. Keen problem solver, strong communicator, quick learner, effective team player and open to learning and teaching new and more efficient validation execution techniques to meet time-to-market. Experience in Xeon CPU Pre-Silicon or Post Silicon Validation Experience on Pre-Si validation on Emulation, preferably Zebu.Requirements listed would be obtained through a combination of industry relevant job experience, internship experiences and or schoolwork/classes/research.
