Role Posting Log in to save

As a Sr Silicon Design Verification Engineer, you will join the team responsible for planning, developing, and executing verification activities for new and existing features within graphics processor IP. You will collaborate with cross-functional architecture, hardware, and firmware teams to develop comprehensive test plans that account for interactions across hardware, firmware, software drivers, and system-level use cases. Your daily work involves creating directed and constrained-random tests, debugging failures, and improving verification methodologies to ensure high-quality silicon. The role requires proficiency in SystemVerilog, Verilog, C, C++, and scripting languages like Perl, Ruby, or shell. You will utilize UVM-based testbenches in Linux and Windows environments while addressing challenges related to graphics pipeline architecture, video codec technologies, and multimedia systems. You will also manage coverage metrics and automate engineering workflows within distributed compute environments.
