Job Responsibilities
Drive design verification of DSP IP by working with a global DSP design team involving architecture, implementation, power, post silicon and back-end teams.
Implement and improve System Verilog/UVM Testbench Architecture.
Develop and deploy new verification methodologies, automation to continuously improve quality and efficiency.
Develop design corresponding test plans, architect and develop verification environments, and meet coverage goals.
Hands-on simulations and ability to debug not only IP level, but Subsystem and SoC level fails and bugs.
Complete all required verification activities at IP level and ensure high quality commercial success of our products.
Assertions, simulation, formal verification (static property checking), HW-SW co-verification, constraint/HVL-based verification, simulation acceleration, emulation are all tools you will use on a daily basis.
Responsible gate level simulation bring-up, gate level verification with timing simulations.
Responsible for power aware RTL verification and gate level simulation.

Solid background and understanding of Digital Design, Processor Architecture , Processor Verification and Power aware verification.
Expertise in System Verilog Testbench Architecture and implementation.
Experience in writing C based and assembly level testcases is preferred.
Exposure to power aware implementation and verification using UPF is a plus.
Experience with advanced verification techniques such as formal and assertions is a plus.
Gate-Level Simulation and Debug — 0-delay, timing annotated and power aware.
Experience in System Verilog/UVM, and with simulators from Synopsys/Mentor/Cadence .
Scripting/Automation Skills — Perl, Python, Shell, Make file TCI .
Solid analytical and debugging skills, strong knowledge of digital design and good understanding of Object Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts.
Experience in Hardware verification languages (HVL) such as SystemVerilog testbench (OVM/UVM) and SystemC and Hardware description languages (HDL) such as Verilog, SystemVerilog is preferred.
