Staff SOC Verification Engineer
Austin, TX
Meet the team
The IoT Digital Design team is a state-of-the-art IC design team focused on producing world class Wireless MCU SoCs. The architecture specification, design, verification, emulation, and implementation of the Wireless MCU SoCs are all the responsibilities of the IoT Digital team. These SoCs include an embedded CPU system with analog and digital peripherals, advanced security, advanced power management, and best in class radios to support a wide range of wireless IoT applications and standards. We strive to provide advanced technology solutions through innovation in custom RISC-V Cores and AI/ML components.
The position involves deploying UVM/C based Testbenches for multi-core, multi-threaded processor-based chips with emphasis on Power/Performance KPIs sign-off along with quality functional verification. The candidate should have worked on architecture of chip-level testbenches and verification of SoCs and chipsets with ARM or proprietary processor technology and AMBA AHB/AXI/APB protocols along with peripheral interfaces like SDIO, UART, I2S, I2C, PWM.
Responsibilities
- Develop and execute chip level test plan to meet product requirements.
- Tests will be a combination of directed (C tests), constrained random (UVM), and formal SVAs.
- Complete coverage closure, grading, and analysis.
- Setup and debug UPF simulations at SoC and Subsystem level.
- Perform gate level verification across corners and provide activity files for power analysis.
- Proven record of accomplishment in finding system level bugs
- Mentor global teams and provide technical leadership for AMS verification.
