The Principal Design Verification Engineer joins the AI Silicon Engineering SoC Design Verification team to support the development of advanced AI accelerators. In this role, you will create complex verification environments and test cases for block, chip, and system levels while collaborating with architects and design engineers to establish comprehensive verification plans. Your daily responsibilities include developing components like scoreboards, sequences, constraints, assertions, and functional coverage, as well as triaging and debugging failures in simulation and emulation. You will utilize UVM, SystemVerilog, C++, and Makefiles to build scalable solutions while adopting agentic DV workflows like Co-Pilot. The role requires expertise in pre-silicon functional verification and post-silicon validation within the context of high-performance silicon IP and SoC design. You will also manage test development for full feature coverage using Agile methodologies and cross-functional collaboration.
