Job Description:

Altera is looking for a talented and driven Principal Verification Engineer to Designs, develops, validates, and/or debugs software abstractions and frameworks for acceleration with FPGAs to support embedded, data center, and communication clients.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with architects and design engineers to understand IP specifications and define comprehensive verification strategies and detailed test plans.

• Develop robust, reusable, and constrained-random verification environments using SystemVerilog and UVM (Universal Verification Methodology).

• Create and implement directed and random test cases and test sequences to exercise design functionality and uncover potential bugs.

• Develop verification components, including drivers, monitors, scoreboards, and checkers.

• Utilize SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) and formal verification methods to enhance bug detection and verify complex properties.

• Execute simulation regressions, debug test failures, analyze root causes, and work with designers to implement corrective measures.

• Define and track functional and code coverage metrics to ensure verification completeness and drive coverage closure.

• Develop automation scripts and infrastructure using languages like Python or Perl to improve verification efficiency and flows.

• Participate in technical reviews of specifications, design documents, and test plans, providing valuable input and feedback.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

• Expertise in Hardware Description Languages (HDL) like Verilog or VHDL and Hardware Verification Languages (HVL) such as System Verilog.

• Strong hands-on experience in developing UVM-based testbenches and verification components.

• Proficiency in modern verification methodologies, including coverage-driven verification (CDV) and assertion-based verification (ABV).

• Familiarity with industry-standard protocols such as AMBA (AXI, ACE, CHI, APB), PCIe, or Ethernet is a plus.

• Experience with simulation and debug tools.

• Strong scripting skills in Python, Perl, or TCL or automation and data analysis.

• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and debugging skills.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a collaborative, cross-functional team environment.
