This role offers an exciting opportunity to learn and work on cutting-edge vision AI accelerators, machine and deep learning algorithms, and make a meaningful impact on the development of a co-designed robust, client-facing hardware-software library.

Key Responsibilities

• Design verification plans based on design assessment, specifications and discussions with design team
• Build scalable UVM-based verification environments and reusable testbenches
• Create and maintain directed and constrained-random test suites
• Implement assertion-based verification (ABV) using SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA)
• Drive functional coverage closure and regression analysis
• Perform debug and root-cause analysis of simulation failures
• Collaborate with design teams to resolve functional issues
• Improve design quality using Lint and CDC/RDC checks and suggest RTL improvements
• Create and maintain continuous integration and regression infrastructure
• Perform formal verification and equivalence checking flows

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 3+ years (or higher for senior roles) of experience in digital verification for ASIC RTL designs
