• Own and drive verification for a DPU subsystem comprising multiple units, or for a particularly complex DPU unit, from early planning through sign-off.
• Contribute to the overall DPU verification architecture, planning, integration strategy and quality criteria.
• Architect reusable, scalable and high-performance System Verilog/UVM environments and verification IP.
• Define verification plans, coverage models, sign-off criteria and measurable quality goals for the owned verification scope.
• Identify technical and schedule risks early, establish mitigation plans and drive them to resolution across teams.
• Review proposed architecture and design changes for correctness, observability, testability, performance and verification complexity.
• Lead the resolution of complex unit-level, cross-unit, integration or system-level failures.
• Align verification activities and dependencies across the relevant unit, subsystem and DPU teams.
• Drive improvements in verification methodology, automation, reuse, regression efficiency, debug and continuous integration.
• Use verification data to identify quality gaps, improve bug discovery and guide engineering priorities.
• Influence project planning and technical decisions through clear, evidence-based recommendations.
• Build effective links with architecture, design, software and other Arm engineering teams to ensure that the DPU integrates successfully into complete systems.

• Strong knowledge of, and extensive hands-on coding experience with, System Verilog and UVM, including the architecture, implementation and review of complex verification environments.
• Hands-on verification experience in standard on-chip bus protocols such as AMBA APB and AXI, or other industry-standard protocols.
• Demonstrated experience developing verification plans from scratch for complex IP or subsystems, including verification strategy, stimulus, checking, coverage, risk assessment and sign-off criteria.
• Experience owning verification of a subsystem comprising multiple units, or of a particularly complex unit.
• Experience developing verification test benches.
• Hands-on programming experience using Python, C or another standard programming language.
• Knowledge of the tools and infrastructure that support effective verification workflows, such as regression setup and triage, version control and linting.

• Experience with power-aware verification.
• Experience with formal verification.
• Experience working at IP or subsystem level.
• Contributions to the domain through conferences or technical papers.
• Experience with performance analysis.
• Experience working with reference models developed in
  
  C.

• Ability to provide clarity and direction while working through ambiguity and evolving specifications.
• Ability to engage and align stakeholders to clarify requirements and resolve issues.
• Willingness to take ownership where needed and drive cross-team work to completion.
• Clear communication and a collaborative approach to technical leadership.
