What you will do

• Investigate state-of-the-art methods for using agentic AI in ASIC verification.
• Establish a benchmark for the existing AI pipeline and reconstruct historical manual effort for selected modules.
• Define the coverage scope, with functional coverage as the likely primary focus and code coverage included where appropriate.
• Tune prompts, context selection, retrieval of relevant code and examples, stimulus-output formats, and iterative tool feedback.
• Evaluate the tuned pipeline on held-out coverage targets against the initial pipeline and original manual solution.
• Deliver a tuned agentic AI pipeline, documented benchmark history, and an evidence-based assessment of where AI-assisted stimulus creation is useful or limited.
