We are seeking talented Design Verification Professionals with proven expertise in industry-standard protocols such as PCIe and CXL. You will play a key role in the functional verification of designs, from developing block-level and system-level verification plans to writing test sequences, executing tests, and collecting and closing coverage.
Responsibilities:
- Develop and execute block-level and system-level verification plans.
- Write and execute test sequences and collect and close coverage.
- Collaborate with RTL designers to debug failures and refine verification processes.
- Utilize coding and protocol expertise to contribute to functional verification.
- Develop user-controlled random constraints in transaction-based verification methodologies.
- Write assertions, cover properties, and analyze coverage data.
- Create VIP abstraction layers for sequences to simplify and scale verification deployments.
Basic Qualifications:
- Minimum of 12 years’ experience in supporting or developing complex SoC/silicon products for server, storage, and/or networking applications.
- Strong academic and technical background in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering (bachelor’s degree required, master’s preferred).
- Professional attitude with the ability to prioritize tasks, prepare for customer meetings, and work independently with minimal guidance.
- Knowledge of industry-standard simulators, revision control systems, and regression systems.
- Entrepreneurial, open-minded behavior and a can-do attitude, with a focus on customer satisfaction.
Required Experience:
- Interpreting PCIe/CXL standard protocol specifications to develop and execute verification plans in simulation environments.
- Experience using Verification IPs from third-party vendors for PCIe/CXL, focusing on Gen3 or above.
- Ability to independently develop test plans and sequences in UVM to generate stimuli.
- Experience writing assertions, cover properties, and analyzing coverage data.
- Developing VIP abstraction layers for sequences to simplify and scale verification deployments.
Preferred Experience:
- Expertise in verifying Physical Layer, Link Layer, and Transaction Layer of PCIe/CXL protocols, including compliance on PCIe/CXL EP/RC.
- Experience with buffering and queuing with QoS on complex NOC-based SoCs.
- Analyzing performance at the system level on switching fabrics.
