About the Role
In this role you will: Establish yourself as an integral member of a design verification team for the development of AI components with focus on verifying functions and features. Lead a pre-silicon verification team for the development of custom Intellectual Property (IP) and Subsystem (SS) components with focus on architectural and micro-architectural based functions and features. Collaborate with the architecture and design teams to ensure the implementation meets both architectural and micro-architectural intent. Write, execute, enhance, and debug constrained random stimulus, scoreboards and checkers, and assertions to verify design correctness. Develop Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) components to interface between test code and verification simulation environments. Apply Agile development methodologies including code reviews, sprint planning, and feature deployment. Provide technical leadership through mentorship and teamwork. Doctorate in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 1+ year(s) technical engineering experience OR Master's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 4+ years technical engineering experience OR Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field AND 5+ years technical engineering experience OR equivalent experience. 10+ years of industry experience in design verification with a proven track record of delivering complex Central Processing Unit(CPU), Graphics Processing Unit(GPU) or System on Chip(SoC) IPs.
