Job Description:
Responsibilities
- Own verification planning and execution for Vector, ALU, floating-point blocks from testplanning to unit level verification and integration to core level.
- Drive verification strategy, test planning, Testbench development, tests writing, debug, coverage analysis, and closure for complex Vector, ALU, FPU execution-pipeline and datapath behaviours.
- Define effective verification approaches for arithmetic, floating-point, operand dependency, bypass/forwarding, replay, flush/recovery, exception, and execution-to-commit interactions.
- Develop robust verification environments, assertions, checkers, scoreboards, stimulus, and coverage models that expose corner cases and improve bug-finding efficiency.
- Partner closely with architecture, design, and verification teams to review specifications, identify risk early, and improve verification completeness.
- Drive efficient root-cause debug across specification, RTL, tests, and verification infrastructure.
- Contribute reusable methodology, automation, and infrastructure that improve verification quality and productivity across future CPU core programs.
Minimum Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
- 4+ years of relevant experience in ASIC, CPU/core, or SoC design verification.
- Strong hands-on experience with SystemVerilog, UVM -based verification and modern verification methodologies.
- Solid understanding of computer architecture and CPU microarchitecture.
- Experience verifying one or more of the following areas: ALU pipelines, floating-point execution, datapath verification, formal verification, issue/dispatch behavior, dependency handling, forwarding, replay, or exception handling.
- Strong knowledge of verification flow methodology, including test planning, stimulus generation, debug, coverage analysis, and coverage closure.
- Good scripting or programming skills in Python, C/C++, or similar languages used for DV infrastructure and automation.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with high-performance out-of-order CPU core verification.
- Experience developing high-value assertions, checkers, and scoreboards for control-heavy or dependency-sensitive CPU behavior.
- Experience applying formal verification to execution logic, control interactions, or datapath correctness.
- Experience collaborating effectively across architecture, design, performance, and verification teams.
