Role Posting Log in to save

The Design Verification Engineer joins a hardware group to ensure bug-free first silicon for SoC and IP designs. This role involves all phases of pre-silicon verification, including establishing DV methodology, developing test plans based on micro-architecture, and building scalable, portable verification environments. Key responsibilities include creating stimulus, checkers, assertions, and trackers, as well as executing design bring-up, regression enabling, and debugging test failures. The engineer must track progress using metrics like bugs and coverage while utilizing LLMs for efficient execution. Required technical skills include SystemVerilog, UVM, and Object-Oriented Programming. Candidates should also possess experience with simulators, waveform viewers, build automation, coverage collection, and gate level simulations. Proficiency in scripting languages like Python, Perl, or TCL is required to support these complex verification tasks.
