TL;DR · Pre-Silicon Digital Verification Engineer

JOB TITLE: Pre-Silicon Digital Verification Engineer As a Pre-Silicon Digital Verification Engineer within the mixed signal ASIC team, you will verify complex digital IPs for custom integrated circuits. You will collaborate with system architects and digital designers to clarify block level specifications and develop comprehensive verification plans covering functional, performance, stress, and error conditions. Your daily responsibilities include creating verification testbenches, building testcases, and debugging failures to ensure bug-free designs for first tapeout. You will utilize System Verilog, UVM, and System Verilog Assertions to develop drivers, tests, reference models, and checkers. The role involves using formal verification, digital mixed signal verification, and analog mixed signal simulation. You will also track progress using functional and code coverage while participating in code reviews for various blocks across the chips.

What you'll do

  • Develop precise design specifications for digital control blocks with system architects and designers.
  • Create block and chip level verification plans to exercise functional, performance, and stress cases.
  • Build verification testbenches using formal verification and UVM based simulation.
  • Develop drivers, tests, reference models, and checkers using System Verilog and UVM.
  • Create testcases using System Verilog Assertions and constrained random UVM to achieve full coverage.
  • Debug test failures and work with designers to implement necessary fixes.
  • Use functional and code coverage to track progress and gauge tapeout readiness.
  • Participate in code reviews for other blocks to ensure bug-free designs.

What we're looking for

  • A minimum of a bachelor's degree in a related field.
  • Extensive course work in digital design and computer architecture (preferred).
  • Foundation in object oriented programming techniques (preferred).
  • Lab courses or work experience with System Verilog (preferred).
  • Familiarity with constrained random verification techniques (preferred).
  • Familiarity with clock domain crossing design and verification techniques (preferred).
  • Some course work in analog circuit design (preferred).
