The Sr. Microprocessor Verification Engineer joins the team to own functional verification of high-performance Microprocessor designs from block level through full-chip integration. This role involves designing sophisticated verification infrastructure, including behavioral reference models, transaction-level checkers, scoreboards, and simulation frameworks. The engineer will write advanced C and assembly test programs to identify architectural corner cases, drive regression quality to tape-out standards, and serve as a technical authority in architecture reviews. Key technical requirements include expert C++ programming, proficiency in x86 assembly, Perl, Python, Ruby, Verilog HDL, and SystemVerilog. The work focuses on complex computer architecture problems, specifically out-of-order processor pipelines, memory hierarchy, superscalar execution, floating point math, and multi-die or chiplet-based processor architectures to ensure reliability and performance in leading-edge silicon.
Own functional verification of high-performance Microprocessor designs from block level through full-chip integration.
Design and build verification infrastructure including behavioral reference models, transaction-level checkers, and scoreboards.
Write advanced C and assembly test programs to identify architectural corner cases.
Drive regression quality and defect convergence to meet tape-out standards and coverage goals.
Serve as the technical authority during architecture reviews and tape-out readiness assessments.
Identify verification risks early and provide clear mitigation plans to design and program teams.
Build tools and automation to improve team velocity and verification confidence across active programs.
Collaborate across RTL, DFT, physical design, and architecture teams to align verification with design reality.
