As a SOC Verification and Methodology Engineer within the Global SOC organization, you will ensure the quality and functionality of System-on-Chip designs through comprehensive verification processes. You will be responsible for developing verification plans based on design specifications, creating test infrastructure, and executing test cases to identify and resolve complex issues. Your daily work involves implementing and analyzing SystemVerilog assertions and coverage while collaborating with architects, designers, and silicon teams. The role requires expertise in SystemVerilog, UVM-based methodologies, and assertion-based verification for large-scale hardware designs from planning through tapeout. You will utilize advanced tools to verify varied design IPs and system-level integration. The work focuses on the technical challenges of 5G product lines, including low power Snapdragon chips, Machine Learning applications, and autonomous driving systems involving complex SoC architectures.
