+ Verification Infrastructure: Architect simulation testbenches in C/C++/RTL and lead the development of reusable UVM environments.
+ Advanced Verification: Champion the integration of formal verification, and AI-driven coverage analysis.
+ Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with microarchitecture, RTL design, and software teams to align verification plans with ISA requirements.
+ Mentorship: Provide technical direction and set the standard for quality and metric-driven verification (MDV) across global teams.
Required Qualifications:
+ B.Tech/M.Tech in ECE with 10+ years of experience in SoC/CPU/DSP verification.
+ Deep expertise in SystemVerilog/UVM and C/C++ for architectural modeling.
+ Experience with processor integration (e.g., RISC-V or ARM) and industry-standard protocols like AMBA/PCIe.
