TL;DR · CPU Design Verification Engineer

As a CPU Design Verification Engineer, you will join the hardware team to own the verification of specific functional areas within a complex CPU design. You will collaborate closely with architecture and RTL designers to ensure functional correctness while developing comprehensive test plans and environments. Your daily responsibilities include creating tests in assembly, C, or vectors, as well as building coverage monitors and analyzing results to ensure full test plan coverage. To achieve these goals, you will develop checkers and SystemVerilog or C-based transactors. The role requires expertise in CPU architecture, digital logic design, and microarchitecture. You will utilize C/C++ and SystemVerilog to build testbenches and debug tests. This position focuses on the technical challenge of verifying chip designs to ensure functional reliability before products reach customers.

What you'll do

  • Verify the functional correctness of specific CPU design areas in collaboration with architecture and RTL designers.
  • Develop comprehensive test plans and verification environments for chip designs.
  • Create tests using assembly, C, or vectors based on established test plans.
  • Develop coverage monitors to ensure all planned test cases are fully executed.
  • Analyze coverage data to identify and address gaps in the verification process.
  • Develop checkers and SystemVerilog or C-based transactors to verify design functionality.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum BS degree and 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Academic and industry experience with CPU architecture, digital logic design, chip architecture, and microarchitecture.
  • Programming experience in C/C++ or SystemVerilog.
  • Experience developing testplans, testbenches, C-based transactors, and writing/debugging tests.
  • Bachelor of Science or Engineering in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science (preferred).
  • Experience in post-silicon bringup (preferred).
  • Experience with advanced verification techniques such as formal (preferred).
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work independently (preferred).
