CPU Design Verification Engineer

As a CPU Design Verification Engineer, you'll play a pivotal role in ensuring the functional correctness and performance of Altera's RISC-V processor family. Working alongside world-class CPU architects, RTL designers, and system design teams, you'll help validate designs that meet rigorous functional, performance goals. This is your opportunity to tackle complex technical challenges while contributing to products that shape the computing landscape.

Key Responsibilities

Develop and execute sophisticated verification plans to validate CPU logic against architectural and microarchitectural specifications

Create scalable, reusable verification environments using UVM-based testbenches and advanced functional coverage models

Perform in-depth functional coverage analysis, identify critical verification gaps, and implement strategic closure plans

Execute complex system-level simulations to validate functionality

Debug and perform root-cause analysis of issues in pre-silicon environments, implementing robust corrective measures

Develop automation scripts and tools using Python, Perl, C++, or similar languages to optimize verification workflows

Partner closely with CPU architects and RTL developers to verify complex architectural features

Maintain and enhance verification infrastructure, methodologies, and automation flows to maximize team productivity

Document comprehensive verification strategies and lead technical reviews with cross-functional stakeholders
