What you will do

• Review SoC architecture and design specifications to derive verification requirements, risks, and test scenarios.
• Develop and own verification plans for complex blocks, subsystems, and defined portions of SoC programs.
• Build and maintain reusable testbench components, tests, assertions, checkers, scoreboards, and coverage models.
• Drive verification closure through stimulus development, coverage analysis, and signoff tracking.
• Analyze logs and waveforms, resolve complex testbench and design failures, and coordinate issue resolution with RTL, architecture, firmware, and verification engineers.
• Improve verification automation, reuse, debug efficiency, and development methods while leading technical reviews and guiding other engineers.

Requirements

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field with 2–4 years of relevant industry experience, or a related bachelor’s degree with 4–5 years of relevant industry experience.
• Demonstrated mastery of multiple aspects of SoC design verification and recognized technical contributions within a work group.
