Pre-Si Verification Engineer

You will be responsible for the full life-cycle of verification, from planning to test execution and including collecting and closing coverage. You will closely interface with architecture and design teams to understand design/product requirements and develop comprehensive test plans and you will conduct/participate in test plan and test reviews, develop verification components and tests, and triage failures.

You will mentor and provide guidance to junior verification engineers in the execution of their tasks.

Responsibilities include:

• Developing pre-Silicon functional validation tests to verify system will meet design requirements.
• Creating test plans for RTL validation, defining and running system simulation models, and finding and implementing corrective measures for failing RTL tests.
• Analyzing and using results to modify testing.
• The leader in this position develops scoreboard, monitors, checkers for IP.
• Debug failing signatures.
• Analyzes coverage holes to reach 100% functional coverage.
• Reviewing test plans for all the IP blocks and tracking progress to milestones.

Qualifications

You must possess the below minimum qualifications to be initially considered for this position. Preferred qualifications are in addition to the minimum requirements and are considered a plus factor in identifying top candidates.

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor Degree in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering; 4+ years of experience in pre-Silicon verification
