The engineer will be instrumental in developing advanced UVM environments to ensure the quality and reliability of next-generation IP solutions.

The company welcomes applicants with various experience levels; the final assessment during the interview process will determine the appropriate seniority and offer alignment.

About You:

• Possess strong hands-on experience with SystemVerilog and UVM, with a proven ability to build verification environments from the ground up.
• Comfortable independently leading complex design verification efforts, from strategic planning to coverage closure.
• Demonstrate a solid understanding of RTL verification, debugging, and coverage analysis.
• Exhibit curiosity and strong problem-solving skills; experience with cache, interconnects, or memory systems is advantageous.

What You Will Do:

• Define comprehensive verification strategies and architect robust DV environments for block and sub-system level IPs.
• Develop reusable UVCs and execute constrained-random test plans to validate complex corner cases.
• Conduct RTL-level functional verification, enhance functional and code coverage, and debug intricate failures.
• Collaborate closely with design and cross-functional teams to successfully deliver verification projects.

What You Will Learn:

• Gain deep, hands-on exposure to cache pipelines, memory subsystems, and high-performance interconnects.
• Master advanced verification techniques to boost efficiency, scalability, and reliability across IPs.
• Acquire practical experience with AXI/CHI protocols, cache coherence, and memory consistency models.
• Take end-to-end ownership of complex DV projects within a dynamic, high-performance compute environment.
