The SoC Development team is seeking highly motivated engineers to join a team of experienced engineers working on the development of controller SoCs.
As a Verification Engineer in SoC Development Team, you will develop test-plans and tests for use in testing complex System On Chip (SoC) ASIC’s. Your work will enable industry-leading data storage control SoC’s that get deployed into high volume consumer and enterprise products.
The growing diversity of data creates an exponential number of new possibilities – for the world, our company and you. You’ll be part of a team driving the innovations necessary to outpace new demands and challenges everywhere data lives, from sensors to mobile devices to the cloud. We’ve only started to scratch the surface of what data can do. You can help unlock its full potential.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
- Responsible for driving verification strategy, creating Test Plans, and developing Test Benches for SoC.
- Collaborate with architects, designers, pre-and post-silicon verification teams to develop test plans
- Responsible to develop C-based tests on SoC. Processor knowledge is a plus.
- Define and meet all functional coverage goals
- Run and debug gate-level simulations
- Understanding and generation of functional patterns for ATE
Required:
- BE or MS degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering, with 9 to 13 years of experience
- Deep understanding of C, System Verilog UVM and coverage driven verification methodology
- History of building and improving UVM based verification methodology
Skills:
- Develop and execute verification plans
- Proficiency with C, Verilog & System Verilog and verification
- Experience in implementing advanced test benches, verification models, scoreboards/checkers.
- Knowledge in bus protocols - APB, AHB, AXI, and bus interconnects
- Good Programming/Scripting skills with languages such as Python, Perl, TCL, and BASH
- Experience with test plan creation and test-bench development
- Experience with test development and test coverage assessment
- Excellent debugging and problem-solving skill
- Knowledge in various interfaces – PCIe, DP, UART, I2C, I2S, SPI, USB, SD
- Create and modify SoC-level, and sub-system level test benches.
- Experience in setting up and running gate-level simulations
- Gate Level / Power-Aware simulations
- Great written and verbal communication skills
- Interest in ASICs, SoCs, hard disk drives, flash memory, semiconductor components
- Strong team player who can collaborate with colleagues
