The Design Verification Engineer will ensure the fidelity of new highly configurable cores and other related IPs, for clients taking on exciting new use cases—like autonomous driving, 5G networking, wearables, or IoT.
Responsibilities
The Design Verification Engineers will be responsible for adopting state-of-the-art verification methodologies to in-house designs in order to ensure that everything on SiFive’s integrated circuits work as intended. They will need to understand the component parts of the system, create test plans and unit test benches, execute tests to ensure the design captures the architect’s intent, and finally ensure verification quality through coverage metrics and other means.
Because of the uniqueness of SiFive’s chip design flow, the Verification Engineer will have the opportunity to learn state-of-the-art technologies while developing IP with more speed and agility than any other company.
Requirements
With +5 years experience in the related fields
Bachelor's, or Master's in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a similar discipline.
Direct experience with CPU cache hierarchy, cache coherency, and memory consistency are preferred
Thorough understanding of the high-level verification flow methodology (test plan creation, test generation, failure analysis, coverage analysis, and closure)
Functional programming experience is not required but helpful
Proficient in troubleshooting and possessing strong analytical capabilities.
Good interpersonal skills to listen to diverse points of view and influence people from different disciplines
