Job Description: Key Qualifications Preferably BE/B.Tech/ME/M.Tech in EEE/ECE/CSE with 5-12 years of relevant industry experience. Should have experience in verification methodology. Architecting and development of testbench, test-bench components for ISA features, clock/reset/power features of processor. Strong assembly and CPU (x86/ARM/RISC-V) architecture knowledge. Strong in C, C++, Verilog, and scripting (Perl, Python) languages. Ability to work independently and across geographies

Requirement: Role and Responsibilities Work with CPU architects to get understand processor micro-architecture Develop detailed test and coverage plans for ISA and micro-architecture features Design and develop component, block and core level testbenches including stimulus engines, microarchitectural models, checkers Build architectural tools for ISA level verification Develop stimulus generators that scale from pre-silicon to emulation and post-silicon domain Execute verification plans, including DV environment bring-up, regression enabling for all features under your care, debug of the test failures Track and report DV progress using a variety of metrics, including bugs and coverage

Preferred Qualifications: Deep knowledge in processor verification function and architecture, in areas such as cache coherence, memory ordering and consistency, prefetching, branch prediction, renaming, speculative execution, and memory translation Knowledge in Random Instruction Sequencing (RIS) and testing associated as block/unit and chip level for proving correctness Have lead a small team of verification engineers doing CPU verification Advanced techniques such as formal, assertions, and silicon bring up a plus Experience in writing test plans, portable benches, transactors, and assembly Experience with many different verification methodologies and tools such as simulators, coverage collection, gate level simulation Able to develop test bench and work independently on a block/unit of the design
