Responsibilities

  • Develop comprehensive verification plans aligned with design and system requirements.
  • Perform functional verification of custom mixed-signal ASICs at block and chip level.
  • Design and implement UVM-based testbenches, including infrastructure, scoreboards, checkers, and assertions.
  • Create directed and constrained-random test suites to ensure robust functional coverage.
  • Implement, analyze, and drive functional and code coverage, including coverage closure.
  • Conduct failure analysis, regression triage, and debug, resolving functional and timing-related issues.
  • Run and debug gate-level simulations, including timing violations and back-annotation issues.
  • Develop and maintain digital and mixed-signal behavioral models to support verification.
  • Support verification flow and infrastructure development, including regressions and automation.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with digital/analog design, systems, applications, firmware/software, and manufacturing test teams.
  • Contribute to both pre-silicon verification and post-silicon validation efforts.
  • Proactively improve verification methodologies, processes, and best practices.
