TL;DR · CPU Design Verification Engineer

As a CPU Design Verification Engineer, you will join a hardware team to own the verification of specific functionality within a CPU design. You will collaborate closely with architecture and RTL designers to ensure functional correctness by developing comprehensive test plans and test environments. Your daily responsibilities include developing tests in assembly, C, or vectors, as well as creating coverage monitors and checkers. You will utilize SystemVerilog or C-base transactors to verify the design and analyze coverage to ensure all test cases are met. The role requires academic experience in CPU architecture, digital logic design, and microarchitecture. Candidates must possess programming experience in C, C++, or SystemVerilog to solve complex hardware verification problems and deliver functional products for the chip design effort.

What you'll do

  • Verify the functional correctness of specific CPU design areas.
  • Develop comprehensive test plans and verification environments.
  • Write tests using assembly, C, or vectors based on established plans.
  • Create coverage monitors to ensure all test cases are fully executed.
  • Develop checkers and SystemVerilog or C-base transactors to verify design logic.
  • Analyze coverage data to identify and address any gaps in verification.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum BS degree.
  • Academic experience in CPU architecture.
  • Programming experience in at least one of the following languages: C, C++, or SystemVerilog.
  • Bachelor of Science or Engineering in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science (preferred).
  • Internships or other academic project experience in hardware verification and/or design (preferred).
  • Academic experience in digital logic design, chip architecture, and microarchitecture (preferred).
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work independently (preferred).
