Job Requirements
Develop detailed verification plans based on architectural specifications and functional requirements for CPU designs.
Define verification methodologies and strategies, including testbench architecture and coverage metrics.
Identify critical verification scenarios and edge cases.
Architect and implement highly robust and scalable verification environments using UVM (Universal Verification Methodology).
Develop complex test sequences, constrained random tests, and directed tests to achieve comprehensive coverage.
Create reusable verification components (e.g., UVM agents, sequencers, drivers, monitors, scoreboards).
Develop assertions (SVA) to monitor design behavior and detect violations.
Execute verification plans on simulators (e.g., Cadence Xcelium, Synopsys VCS, Mentor QuestaSim).
Debug complex functional and performance issues, identifying root causes in RTL (Verilog) and collaborating with design teams for resolution.
Analyze coverage data (code, functional, assertion) and drive towards verification closure.
Develop and maintain regression suites.
Work closely with RTL design engineers, architects, and software teams to understand design intent and verification requirements.
Contribute to the continuous improvement of verification methodologies, flows, and tools.
Participate in design and verification reviews.
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
3+ years of experience in digital IC verification.
Strong proficiency in Verilog and SystemVerilog.
Extensive hands-on experience with UVM for building complex testbenches.
Solid understanding of CPU architecture concepts (e.g., pipelining, cache coherence, memory management units, instruction sets).
Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python, Perl, Tcl) for automation and data analysis.
Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and debugging skills.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Experience with ARM CPU architecture and instruction sets (e.g., ARM Cortex-A, Cortex-R, Cortex-M series).
Experience with formal verification techniques (e.g., assertion-based verification, model checking).
Familiarity with emulation and FPGA prototyping for pre-silicon validation.
Knowledge of low-power verification techniques.
Prior experience with performance verification and bottleneck analysis.
