Principle Engineer - SoC Design Verification

What You'll Do

• Define and own SoC-level and IP-level verification strategy, methodology, and coverage goals.
• Hands-on work: Responsible for executing verification plan according to the product specification and verification requirements defined by product architects.
• Responsible for developing, debugging and running UVM based verification environment for RTL/netlist simulation.
• Define and develop test cases in an appropriate verification framework.
• Create stimulus and assertions, run simulation, debug test cases on the design models (RTL, power aware RTL, gate level, FPGA, Emulation platform), run regression, collect and analyze code/functional coverage Drive DV closure on diverse IPs and subsystems , ensuring maximum coverage and quality.
• Familiar with both SoC-level and IP-level verification environments .
• Guide the team in developing and improving flows for maximum reuse and efficiency .
• Mentor team members while actively collaborating with design teams for issue resolution and sign-off.
