The CPU Verification Engineer (RISC-V) joins the CPU Engineering team to validate CPU and SOC level micro-architectures in collaboration with Chip Architects. The role involves developing detailed test and coverage plans, creating scalable verification methodologies, and building comprehensive environments including stimulus, checkers, assertions, trackers, and coverage components. Responsibilities include executing verification plans for design bring-up, running regressions, and debugging test failures while tracking progress through specific metrics. Candidates must possess extensive knowledge of RISC-V instruction set architectures and micro-processor functions like cache coherence, memory ordering, branch prediction, and address translation. Required skills include experience with assembly code, transactors, simulators, gate-level simulation, and waveform viewers. The role focuses on ensuring that specific portions of the CPU design are launch-ready by proving correctness at both the block level and subsystem levels.
