Full-time opportunities are available in the areas of design verification for cutting-edge high performance RISC-V CPU from unit level to top level, as well as, all aspects of verification such as functional, microarchitecture, performance, and formal. We are looking for all levels of talent, from entrance to advanced level of experience.
Responsibilities
- As a CPU Design Verification Engineer, you will own or participate in the following:
- Work closely with architecture and RTL designers on verifying the functionality correctness of the design
- Reviewing Architecture and Design Specifications
- Develop test plans and test environments
- Develop tests in assembly, C/C++, SystemVerilog, or vectors according to test plans
- Develop coverage monitors and analyze coverage to ensure all the test cases in the plans are covered
- Develop checkers in SystemVerilog or C-base transactors to verify the design
- Write assertions and apply formal verification to the designImplementing test benches, generating directed/constrained random tests
- Debugging failures, running simulations, tracking bugs
- Handling schedules and supporting multi-functional engineering effortAssisting in verification flows, automation scripts and regressions
Requirements
- In-depth knowledge of digital logic design, CPU architecture and microarchitecture.
- Sophisticated knowledge of SystemVerilog.
- Experienced level knowledge C/C++.Relevant knowledge of verification methodologies and tools such as simulators, waveform viewers, build and run automation, coverage collection.
- Basic knowledge of formal verification methodology is a plus.
- Excellent knowledge of one of the scripting languages such as Python, TCL is a plus.
- Excellent skills in problem solving, written and verbal communication, excellent organization skills, and highly self-motivated.
- Ability to work well in a team and be productive under aggressive schedules.
