Verification Lead

The position involves deploying UVM/C based Test benches for multi-core, multi-threaded processor based chips with emphasis on verifying and signing off performance and power along with functionality. The candidate should have worked on architecture of chip-level test benches and verification of SoCs and chipsets with ARM Cortex and proprietary processor technology and AMBA AHB/AXI/APB protocols along with peripheral interfaces like SDIO, UART, I2S, I2C, PWM.

Responsibilities

* Lead a team to complete the pre-silicon verification of an SoC.

* Develop and track execution of chip level test plan to meet product requirements and established quality standards.

* Execute and maintain chip level verification regressions. Triage and debug failing tests.

* Tests will be combination of directed (C tests), constrained random (UVM), and formal verification.

* Coverage closure, grading and analysis.

* Perform gate level verification across corners. Provide appropriate activity files for power analysis.

* Proven track record of finding deep system level bugs.

* Able to execute on strict timelines and support multiple projects simultaneously.

* Support Application and validation teams with customer issues.

* Provide succinct weekly status and drive action items to closure.

* Coordinate verification activities with a global team of verification and the design engineers.

* Advance verification methodology with continuous process improvements.
