• Experience and understanding of Random Verification concepts, methodologies and environments
• Exposure to verification techniques and testbenches
• Experience and understanding of coverage driven verification techniques
• Develop and deploy FPGA image creation and debug flows
• Knowledge of DFT verification, IC test vector generation and IC testing and debugging flow
• Clock domain crossing verification
• High-level programming languages (C/C++)
• Exposure to low-level programming and driver development
• Familiar with Unix environment and shell programming/scripting (C-shell, Tcl, Perl, Python)
• Knowledge of SoC hardware components and their software interfaces
• Plan, track, and report for the key IP verification activities
• Technical Documentation and reports (English language)

Profile

• PhD/MS or BS in engineering with a focus on digital IC Design/Verification and FPGA development
• 2+ years of experience in a related field
• Good understanding of IC Verification methodologies and particularly UVM verification environments
• Good knowledge in embedded software development
• Strive for innovation and adoption of leading edge solutions
• Used to and comfortable with team working
• Used to work independently and precisely
