THE ROLE: Adaptive and Embedded Computing Group (AECG) seeks a Senior Staff Silicon Design Verification Engineer to provide technical leadership and expertise in the verification of cutting-edge DRAM Memory Controller IPs (DDR5, LPDDR6, HBM4), high-speed Crypto, and Network-on-Chip (NoC). You will be responsible for architecting, developing, and utilizing simulation and/or formal-based verification environments at both block and SoC-level to achieve first-pass silicon success.
THE PERSON:The ideal candidate has a proven track record in driving strategies and successfully executing verification strategies for Pre-Silicon Design IP and/or SOC designs. They should be strong team players with excellent communication and leadership skills, capable of positively and strategically influencing design teams to improve overall product quality.
Key Responsibilities:- Lead the verification of high-speed Crypto, Network-on-Chip (NoC), cutting-edge DRAM Memory controller (DDR5, LPDDR6, HBM4) designs, ensuring the highest standards of quality and performance.
- Architect, develop, and use simulation and/or formal-based verification environments at IP and SoC-level.
- Lead and manage verification teams, including planning, execution, tracking, verification closure, and delivery to programs.
- Develop and execute comprehensive verification plans, including testbenches and test cases.
- Collaborate with design, architecture, and software teams to define and implement verification strategies.
- Utilize advanced verification methodologies, including UVM, formal verification, and assertion-based verification.
- Mentor and guide junior engineers, fostering a collaborative and innovative team environment.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:- Require hands on experience with verification of state-of-the-art memory controllers such as DDR, LPDDR, and HBM. Requires strong understanding of current memory controller protocols and calibration (DDR3/4/5, LPDDR4/5/6, HBM2/3/4), board skew and jitter modeling.
- Require proven track record in technical leadership of teams with 5+ engineers. This includes planning, execution, tracking, verification closure, and delivery to programs.
- Require experience with development of UVM and System Verilog test benches and usage of simulation tools/debug environments such as Synopsys VCS or Cadence Xcelium.
- Require strong understanding of state of the art of verification techniques, including assertion and metric-driven verification. Experience as a verification architect, establishing the verification methodology, tools and infrastructure for high-performance IP and/or VLSI designs is a plus.
- Require familiarity with verification management tools as well as an understanding of database management particularly as it pertains to regression management.
- Experience with formal property checking tools such as VC Formal (Synopsys), JasperGold (Cadence), and Questa Formal (Mentor) is a plus.
- Experience with gate-level simulation, power-aware verification is a plus.
- Experience with silicon debug at the tester and board level, is a plus.
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:- Require BS w/ 8+ yrs or MS w/ 6+ yrs or PhD w/ 3+ yrs in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
