We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. We aim to make people's lives better through technology.

Responsibilities

• Architect and implement constrained-random stress scenarios to identify corner-case failures in designs.
• Develop and integrate C-based embedded tests with SystemVerilog/Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) environments to validate driver-to-hardware interactions.
• Build and maintain reusable UVM-based verification components (agents, predictors, and scoreboards) and infrastructure.
• Drive verification closure across multiple platforms, ensuring seamless test bench portability from RTL simulation to emulation/acceleration goals.
• Design and enhance scripting-based utilities for regression management, automated bug triaging, and coverage analysis.

Minimum qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 8 years of experience with Design Verification of Subsystem (SS) or SoC designs.
• Experience in Python or Perl for automating verification environments, data processing including digital logic, pipeline architectures and common bus protocols (e.g., AXI, AHB).
• Experience in SystemVerilog (SV) and UVM for ASIC/IP verification.
• Experience in building Portable Stimuli based test/test bench framework.

Preferred qualifications:

• Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Computer Science, with an emphasis on computer architecture.
• Experience in domains such as Low-Power verification, Unified Power Format, Performance Analysis, or Security Verification.
• Experience with hardware acceleration platforms such as ZeBu, Palladium, or Veloce for SoC validation and knowledge of high-speed interconnects (e.g., PCIe, CHI, ACE) and memory subsystems.
• Experience in ML/AI based Verification flows and methodologies along with knowledge of post-silicon bring-up and using pre-silicon environments to reproduce and root-cause silicon sightings.
