Senior Silicon Design Verification Engineer

Quick Facts

Senior Silicon Design Verification Engineer (pre-silicon verification)

Description

Own pre-silicon verification strategy and execution for one or more security IP blocks and subsystems, including test planning, environment architecture, and signoff from early design through tapeout and silicon bring-up. Architect and extend SystemVerilog and UVM environments that host C-based stimulus, and drive coverage signoff across functional, code, and power-aware coverage using constrained-random, formal, and gate-level techniques. Lead verification delivery for IP and SoC milestones while developing C/C++ test content, low-level drivers, and self-checking firmware running on embedded processors.

Responsibilities

• Own pre-silicon verification strategy and execution for security IP blocks/subsystems and their integration into the SoC
• Architect/extend SystemVerilog and UVM environments hosting C-based stimulus; connect embedded test code to the testbench
• Drive coverage signoff across functional, code, and power-aware coverage; set goals and close gaps
• Use constrained-random, formal, and gate-level techniques to find bugs and prove completeness of the test plan
• Serve as verification lead and technical point of contact for customer/partner teams; own milestone delivery at IP and SoC levels
• Develop C and C++ test content, low-level drivers, and custom firmware for subsystem and SoC verification, including self-checking tests on embedded processors
