Job Description:
The Role
As a Design Verification Engineer, you will work with CPU designers, compiler team, performance team, and system verification team to generate the test cases automatically to fit those teams' verification requirements from different perspectives. Your responsibilities will target developing internal processor model to verify hardware design and establishing a random instruction test generator that produces self-checking direct test cases.
Responsibilities:
Review and influence product definition and specifications from a verification perspective and collaborate closely with the design team on feature specifications, test plans, and failure analysis.
Implement internal processor model to support all new features of RISCV world and SiFive special design.
Develop tools, test benches, and test suites (C/C++/Python, systemverilog is plus) to execute test plans.
Requirements:
A minimum of 3 years of recent experience with standard verification tools and methodologies (RTL simulation, wave tracing, scripting languages, etc.).
Familiarity with and/or ability to learn languages and methodologies that are not part of the industry-standard approach to verification (Scala, Chisel, etc.).
Experience with command line tools of embedded software (gcc, as, gdb, etc.)
Solid understanding of processor and SoC architecture, or a strong desire and ability to learn the same.
A thorough understanding of the high-level verification flow methodology (test plan generation, test generation, failure analysis, coverage analysis, and closure).
Experience with prototyping and debugging systems on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) platforms will be a plus.
Good interpersonal skills to listen to diverse points of view and influence people from different disciplines.
An unwavering dedication to product quality.
