SoC Design Verification Lead

Job Description

Your responsibilities may include, but are not limited to:

• 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 pre-silicon environment.

• Finds and implements corrective measures to resolve failing tests.

• Collaborates and communicates with SoC architects, micro architects, full chip architects, RTL developers, post silicon, 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 post silicon on the quality of validation done during pre-silicon development, updates test plan for missing coverages and proliferates to future products.

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
