FPGA Silicon Design Verification Engineer

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 Architects, microarchitects, 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 presilicon development, updates test plan for missing coverages, and proliferates to future products

Candidate should have a BS, MS or PhD in Electrical or Computer Science Engineering or related field with 6+ years of technical experience.

Related technical experience should be in/with: Pre Silicon Validation/Verification.

OVM/UVM, System Verilog, constrained random verification methodologies.

Preferred Qualification 

Design Verification with developing, maintaining, and executing complex IPs and/or SOCs.

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.

Scripting experience with TCL/PERL/Python etc.,

Formal verification experience,

Experience in either Ethernet / PCIe / MACSEC / IPSEC protocols & FPGA architecture or FPGA prototyping
