Design Verification Engineer CPU

You will own verification for functional domains of a custom CPU, from test planning through coverage closure. You will build verification environments, develop instruction-level stimulus, validate CPU behavior and performance, run regressions, and support emulation, FPGA prototyping, and software bring-up.

Responsibilities

• Own verification of CPU fetch, decode, load-store, and cache units
• Create detailed test and coverage plans with CPU and SoC architects
• Build verification environments using SystemVerilog, UVM, C, and C++
• Develop instruction-level stimulus and compare results with a golden instruction set simulator
• Verify memory ordering, coherence, exceptions, and privilege behavior
• Verify latency, bandwidth, and cache behavior
• Execute regressions and track bug and coverage metrics
• Support emulation, FPGA prototyping, and pre-silicon software bring-up
• Drive root-cause analysis across hardware and software boundaries

Requirements

• 8 or more years verifying high-performance CPUs or complex digital designs
• Computer architecture and microarchitecture
• SystemVerilog
• UVM
• C
• C++
• Assertions
• Coverage-driven verification
• Test planning
• Portable testbenches
• Transactors
• Hardware/software debugging

Benefits

• Competitive equity compensation
• Medical coverage
• Dental coverage
• Vision coverage
• Paid time off
• Flexible work arrangements
