Verification Engineering Lead/Manager

Location: Milpitas; Bangalore
Department: SOC Development

The position involves designing, developing and deploying UVM based Testbenches for multi-core, multi-threaded processor subsystems with emphasis on verifying and signing off performance and power along with functionality for mixed signal SOC. The candidate should have worked on architecture of chip-level testbenches and verification of SoCs and chipsets with ARM/RISC-V processor technology and AMBA AHB/AXI/APB along with high-speed interfaces like PCIe, MIPI, USB, Ethernet, Mobile DDR and Quad/Octa-SPI and peripheral interfaces like SDIO, UART, I2S, I2C, PWM, QEI, CAN, Ethernet, PCIe, UCIe as well as Mixed Signal AMS simulation environment.

Role and Responsibility

• Lead the SOC and Mixed signal verification team and efforts
• Build capable verification team and manage the tasks and the team to get to tape out on agreed upon schedule and to Production with Agreed upon turns. Revision 0 Silicon success is highly desired.
• Develop and signoff on test plans and test cases
• Strong knowledge of digital design and two or three of AMBA AHB/AXI/APB based SoC Architecture, ADC/DAC, PCIe, Ethernet, CAN, LPDDR interfaces.
• strong knowledge of Verilog, System Verilog, UVM, C/C++
• Experience in usage of assertions, constrained random generation, functional/code coverage
• Knowledge of scripting languages like Perl, Python, TCL, Linux shells to achieve automation of verification methodologies and flows
• Analytical debugging skills
• Excellent team building and management skills

Qualifications and Experience

• BS in EE with 8+ years of experience or MS in EE with 6+ year experience
