Design Verification Engineer

Job Description

Main Requirements and Qualifications

• Role and Responsibilities
• Work with CPU architects to get understand processor micro-architecture
• Develop detailed test and coverage plans for ISA and micro-architecture features
• Design and develop component, block and core level testbenches including stimulus engines, microarchitectural models, checkers
• Build architectural tools for ISA level verification
• Develop stimulus generators that scale from pre-silicon to emulation and post-silicon domain
• Execute verification plans, including DV environment bring-up, regression enabling for all features under your care, debug of the test failures
• Track and report DV progress using a variety of metrics, including bugs and coverage
• Preferred Qualifications
• Deep knowledge in processor verification function and architecture, in areas such as cache coherence, memory ordering and consistency, prefetching, branch prediction, renaming, speculative execution, and memory translation
• Knowledge in Random Instruction Sequencing (RIS) and testing associated as block/unit and chip level for proving correctness
• Have lead a small team of verification engineers doing CPU verification
• Advanced techniques such as formal, assertions, and silicon bring up a plus
• Experience in writing test plans, portable benches, transactors, and assembly
• Experience with many different verification methodologies and tools such as simulators, coverage collection, gate level simulation
