TL;DR · CPU Design Verification Engineer

As a CPU Design Verification Engineer, you will join a chip design team to own the verification of specific functional areas within a CPU design. You will collaborate closely with architecture and RTL designers to ensure functionality correctness while developing and leading comprehensive test plans and environments. Your daily responsibilities include creating complex tests in assembly, C, or vectors, as well as developing coverage monitors and C-based transactors to verify the design. The role requires proficiency in Verilog and C/C++ programming, with a strong academic background in digital logic design, chip architecture, and microarchitecture. Preferred skills include knowledge of formal verification techniques, assertions, and the silicon bring-up process. You will solve critical technical challenges by ensuring high-quality hardware designs are functional before they reach millions of customers.

What you'll do

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

What we're looking for

  • Minimum of a Bachelor's degree.
  • Academic experience in digital logic design, chip architecture, and microarchitecture.
  • Experience with C/C++ programming and Verilog.
  • Knowledge of advanced verification techniques such as formal and assertions (preferred).
  • Understanding of silicon bring-up process (preferred).
  • Experience with testplans, testbenches, C-based transactors, and assembly-based tests (preferred).
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to work independently (preferred).
