Senior Design Verification Engineer

Job Description

Altera is responsible for High-Speed Protocol IP development, which includes participating in high-level product specifications, logic/RTL design and implementation, RTL verification, IP FPGA validation and debugging. As Lead DV Engineer focusing on IP Verification & Validation, you will be responsible for carrying out design validation for Altera next generation IP's across the Altera FPGA IP product portfolios.

Verification & Validation Charter

The charter of IP verification & validation team is to verify and validate the IP for robust functionality from functional simulation. The verification and validation areas encompass IP's for high-speed transceiver protocols (Preferred – Ethernet/PCIe/CXL).

Responsibilities

• Create comprehensive verification and validation plan based on IP/FPGA architecture specifications and carry out all the IP validation tasks.
• Developing IP/subsystem/system level testbench, create tests, and necessary coverage goals based on specification to verify the implementation.
• Writing directed and random test cases, debugging failures, filing and closing bugs.
• Review verification and validation results against the coverage goals.
• Writing, analyzing and achieving coverage metrics.
• Working with cross-functional teams and prepare/support IP functional validation tests for IP bring-up on actual FPGA development kits.
• Creating and establishing IP subsystem/solution validation coverage strategy and standardized framework, drive system test design implementation and overall IP system validation on HW, maximizing FPGA hardware capability to bring substantial improvement to IP quality & usability for Altera FPGA IP product portfolios.
• Developing verification and validation tools and flows, as needed.
• Applying advanced techniques to achieve verification and validation with the highest quality, productivity, and time-to-market.

Qualifications

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or a closely related field of study and 9+ years of industry experience.
• 9+ years of experience developing verification collateral in Verilog, System Verilog and UVM.
• 7+ years with Ethernet/PCIe/CXL protocol verification is required.
• 7+ years in UVM Fluency is a must.
• 7+ years of complex coverage driven random constraint UVM environments.
• 7+ years of experience with High level Specification into test plan and developing tests cases.
• 7+ years of experience of debugging skills to narrow down and isolate issue between RTL design and testbench or test case is required.
• Good communication skills.
