IC Verification Engineer

Collect, discuss, and evaluate requirements related to IC test & validation concept(s) in cooperation with other disciplines' developers

Actively support system and/or IC concept and architecture definition, considering feasibility with semiconductor technologies and test strategy

Apply new validation concepts to the design verification.

Define requirements of the IC validation together in cooperation with other disciplines' developers

Specify IC validation characteristics and interfaces within component specification document

Responsible for the technical communication with the ASIC supplier during the whole ASIC development

Judge and approve simulation/design results in consideration of defined system requirements

Decide on optimal IC verification concept based on simulation results and worst-case calculations

Evaluate technical and development risks for IC development together with ASIC PM

Plan time schedule for dedicated ASIC project tasks, track validation progress, perform bench tests

Create and maintain development documents

Apply configuration and change management, apply quality assurance management

From circuits specifications, ASIC verification engineer should specify verification strategies and testbench architectures (SystemVerilog, UVM, C-driven, others) to ensure optimum verification coverages

Elaborate detailed verification plans corresponding to circuit specifications

Develop verification environments and tests/sequences according to verification plans

Responsible of the definition of the verification strategies, of their implementation and of the verification quality

Improve the verification flow

He is responsible for carrying out all assigned tasks with a focus on function, quality, test architecture, test coverage, schedule, and delivery of verification in time.
