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. Day-to-day responsibilities include developing 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 OOP, along with proficiency in scripting languages like Python, Perl, or TCL. The role also involves using simulators, waveform viewers, and coverage collection tools to achieve sign-off for RTL freeze and tape-out.
