IP Verification Engineer

Job Description
Performs functional verification of IP logic to ensure design will meet specification requirements. Develops IP verification plans, test benches, and the verification environment to ensure coverage to confirm to microarchitecture specifications. Executes verification plans and defines and runs system simulation models to verify the design, analyze power and timing, and uncover bugs. Replicates, root causes, and debugs issues in the presilicon environment. Finds and implements corrective measures to resolve failing tests.

Collaborates with architects, RTL developers, 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. Maintains and improves existing functional verification infrastructure and methodology. Participates in the definition of verification infrastructure and related TFMs needed for functional design verification.

Qualifications

• Experience: Relevant ASIC design/validation experience in front end processes including RTL development, functional and performance verification.
• Experience in verification of design blocks (IP) for system-on-chip (SoC) components.
• Experience in system verilog, and/ OVM or UVM based verification methodologies.
• Experience in one/more of the following areas PCI_Express, USB, I3C, MIPI and /or AMBA standards (OCP, AXI, AHB etc.).
• Knowledge of scripting, SVA.
• Knowledge of IO Interconnect is a plus.
• Knowledge of considerations for performance, power and cost optimization is desirable.
• Expected to be thorough with general verification concepts with System Verilog/OVM/UVM- Writing test cases and making scoreboard/infrastructure changes to the environment.
• Ownership/coding/enhancement of functional scoreboards/agents/sequences/monitors.
• Knowledge in FPV is good to have.
• Responsible for understanding architecture spec and deriving test cases / test plans.
• Need to be a key team player, while being highly energetic and motivated, independent and self-driven (with minimal mentoring/handholding)- Expected to define functional coverage/code/hit it through sequence enhancement and newer/directed test.
