Job Area:Engineering Group, Engineering Group > CPU Engineering
General Summary:As a Design Verification Engineer, you will work with Chip Architects to validate the concepts of CPU and SOC level micro-architectures. You will work on a selected part of the CPU Design Verification to ensure that it functions to the standards of being launch ready for the end Product.
Role and Responsibilities- Work with CPU and SOC Architects to understand the concepts and high-level system requirements.
- Develop detailed Test and Coverage plans based on the Architecture and Micro-architecture.
- Develop Verification Methodology, ensuring scalability and portability across environments.
- Develop Verification environment, including all the respective components such as Stimulus, Checkers, Assertions, Trackers, and Coverage.
- Develop Verification Plans and Testbenches for your functional domain.
- Execute Verification Plans, including Design Bring-up, DV environment Bring-up, Regressions enabling all features under your care, and Debug of the test failures.
- Track and report DV progress using a variety of metrics, including Bugs and Coverage.
Preferred Qualifications- Deep knowledge of Micro-Processor Verification functions and Architectures, in domains such as: Cache Coherence, Memory ordering and Consistency, Prefetching, Branch Prediction, Renaming, Speculative execution, and Address Translation/Memory Management.
- Knowledge of Random Instruction Sequencing (RIS) and testing a given design, at the Block/Unit-level and Subsystem/Chip-level for proving correctness.
- Experience in leading a small team of Verification engineers performing CPU Verification.
- Advance techniques such as: Formal, Assertions, and Silicon bringup, is helpful.
- In-depth knowledge of Micro-processor functions, Architectures, and Micro-architectures.
- Experience in writing Test plans, portable Testbenches, Transactors, and Assembly code.
- Experience with different Verification Methodologies and Tools such as Simulators, Coverage collection, Gate-level Simulation, Waveform viewers, and Mixed signal Verification.
- Ability to develop and work independently on a Block/Unit of the design.
- A minimum of BS degree in any of: {Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Computer Science}.
Minimum Qualifications:• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field and 6+ years of Hardware Engineering, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related work experience.
