About the Role

Join our Logic Design and Validation group within the Design Technology Platforms department, where you'll play a key role in shaping the future of semiconductor technology. You'll be part of a dynamic team responsible for developing RTL models and pre-silicon validation tests for test chips on next-generation silicon manufacturing processes. This is an opportunity to work at the cutting edge of chip design, collaborating across multidisciplinary teams to deliver robust, high-quality silicon.

What You'll Do

- Design & Develop Verification Environments – Build and maintain scalable, reusable UVM-based testbenches and test cases for complex mixed-signal CMOS designs at the block, subsystem, and SoC levels.
- Define Verification Strategy – Own and drive comprehensive verification plans for complex digital systems, ensuring thorough coverage closure across multiple projects.
- RTL Development & Integration – Develop RTL designs and integrate logic components into SoC architectures, collaborating with IP providers to validate IPs at the system level.
- Power Methodology – Develop and implement power verification methodologies for complex mixed-signal IPs using industry-standard frameworks.
- Assertion-Based Verification – Create and apply SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) to strengthen coverage closure and improve overall verification quality.
- Debug & Root Cause Analysis – Identify, debug, and resolve pre-silicon failures, implementing corrective measures and driving issues to closure.
- Cross-Team Collaboration – Partner with architecture, physical design, and post-silicon teams to continuously improve verification strategies for complex architectural features.
- Continuous Improvement – Incorporate post-silicon learnings and feedback into enhanced pre-silicon verification methodologies.
- Documentation & Reviews – Maintain detailed test plans and lead technical reviews with design and architecture teams.

Behavioral Traits

- Self-motivated with a strong sense of urgency and commitment to delivering results.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to work effectively across teams.
- Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with a structured approach to problem-solving.
- Clear and concise documentation and presentation abilities.
