- Architect and enhance verification environments, contributing to shared tools and reusable methodologies across the organization
- Evaluate, integrate, and verify third-party Verification IP (VIP) to accelerate the development cycle
- Define and analyze coverage metrics (functional and code) to ensure design readiness and closure
- Advocate and establish verification best-practices
You have:- 3+ years of experience building and maintaining complex testbenches using UVM/SystemVerilog
- Proven track record with constrained-random generation, functional coverage, and SVA (SystemVerilog Assertions)
- Deep understanding of complex digital logic and the ability to debug intricate hardware/software interactions
- Proficiency in Python for developing scalable automation frameworks, data analysis tools, and regression management suites
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams
- Strong analytical skills in root-causing failures across RTL, testbench, and environment layers
We prefer:- Experience spanning initial specification through post-silicon bring-up and validation
- Familiarity with power-aware verification (UPF), formal verification, or hardware-software co-validation
- Domain expertise in ML accelerators, high-speed interconnects (NoCs), or high-bandwidth memory
- Experience with C/C++ for reference model development and enhancement
- Hands-on experience with industry-standard interfaces such as PCIe Gen 5/6, DDR5, or Ethernet
- Interest or experience in leveraging Generative AI and LLMs to accelerate verification workflows, such as automated testbench generation, documentation, or failure log analysis
