Senior Hardware Design Verification Engineer – Sensors Technology

About The Role

The Multimedia Video and Computer Vision HW Design team works on the design
and development of complex IP Cores that can support cutting-edge Video CODEC
Standards and Advanced Computer Vision applications.
Sensors-based technology has a wide range of applications including navigation,
gaming, smart user interface, multimedia, virtual reality and augmented reality.
This challenging position offers the opportunity to work with leading edge sensor
technologies embedded in smartphones, automotive, IOT, smartwatches as well as
other consumer electronics devices. Job activities span the ASIC design
verification process from test planning, environment development using UVM,
regressions, coverage analysis and meeting all quality metrics for tapeout. The
successful candidate will work with architects of Systems, Design teams, as well as
other SoC team verification engineers and software engineers to verify designs
specific to Digital Sensor subsystems for integration into SoC for mobile
applications.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading and managing a team of engineers, including mentoring, and

coaching junior engineers
• Deploying Industry-Leading Verification Methodologies such as UVM and
Formal Verification
• Developing Testbenches and Verification Components such as UVCs, C
models, and Vertical/Horizontal re-usable Verification Environments.
• Verifying sensor algorithms RTL for ASIC tapeout quality delivery
• Test plan development based on Design documents and interaction with
design/systems engineers.
• Implementing C model integration within UVM framework.
• Writing SystemVerilog assertions
• Debugging, verifying, optimizing, and bit-exact matching with test vectors
• Analysing coverage data and working with Design teams to address
coverage holes.
• Develop/augment framework for running regressions.
• Debugging regression failures with design/Systems teams
• Support integration of design in higher-level subsystem including test
planning, test vector delivery, and debug of test vectors at the integration
level
• Python automation for improving workflows and team efficiency.
• Participate in all project reviews.
• Supporting software and other teams with debug
• Documentation

Education Requirements:
• Bachelor’s degree in science, Engineering, or related field.
 • 3+ years ASIC design verification, UVM-based functional verification, or
related work experience.
• Experience using formal verification tools like Jasper or VC_Formal is a plus.
• Experience with SystemC and Matlab are a plus.
• Gate level Simulation debug and usage of power extraction tools is a plus.
• Experienced with constrained-random verification environment and flow
build-up with UVM, Coverage-Driven verification methodology.
• Experienced with Assertions like System Verilog Assertions
• Experience with debugging test failures and report verification result to
achieve the expected code/functional/line coverage goals.
• Extensive usage of RTL simulation tools.
• UVM, System Verilog, Perl/Python shell-scripting skills required.
• Familiarity with C/C++
• Strong analytical skills and ability to work in a dynamic and fast paced team
environment.
• Excellent written and verbal skills
• Strong interpersonal skills and a good team player
• Strong technical leadership and coaching skills
