Key Skills for This Role
Full Job Posting
Responsibilities
- Own verification of complex digital blocks or major SoC features from requirements analysis through coverage closure.
- Develop feature-based verification plans from product, architecture, and microarchitecture specifications; identify gaps, ambiguities, corner cases, and risks.
- Build and extend reusable SystemVerilog/UVM environments, including sequences, monitors, scoreboards, checkers, assertions, and coverage models.
- Develop constrained random and targeted tests for normal operation, error handling, recovery, and system-level interactions.
- Drive functional, code, toggle, FSM, and assertion coverage closure using regression and coverage data.
- Debug RTL, testbench, assertion, integration, and regression failures; collaborate with design and firmware teams to isolate issues and verify fixes.
- Automate regression, triage, reporting, and analysis workflows using scripting and modern engineering tools.
- Communicate status, risks, dependencies, and closure evidence clearly; provide technical guidance to less-experienced engineers.
