TL;DR · Design Verification Engineer

As a Design Verification Engineer, you will join the team responsible for cutting-edge server memory products to drive verification efforts for DDR interfaces. You will develop and execute verification plans for DDR5, LPDDR5, and DFI memory systems across various DIMMs. Your daily work involves comprehending PHY interactions within complete systems involving hardware, firmware, BIOS, and software to ensure all features are aligned. You will engage in cross-functional discussions with architects and design engineers regarding RTL and micro-architecture while supporting post-silicon teams for performance, power, and functional debugging. The role requires advanced proficiency in SystemVerilog, UVM, C/C++, Python, and Perl. You will build testbenches, simulation environments, and coverage models, potentially creating VIPs and BFMs from scratch. Experience with GLS, NLP, XPROP simulations, and formal verification methods is also highly valued for this role.
