Full Description

JOB DESCRIPTION

Experience: 5 to 8 years with atleast 5 years of strong hands on verification experience

Core responsibilities

Assure the overall quality of our designs, which contribute to exciting launches of wireless portable hardware at Snap
A strong focus on ARM IPs (cpu (cortex-a v9 arch), gpu (mali), debug (css600, coresight), etc.) where your knowledge and experience will allow us to review architectural/design decisions and ramp up on verification of these blocks
Serve as an individual contributor to own and develop the verification of our core IP blocks
Ownership throughout the whole project lifecycle, e.g.: Specification reviews, Verification plans, test case development, UVM environments, Coverage (analysis), Debugging, GLS, etc.
Work closely with other teams to gather relevant information and share your knowledge about the design to further improve requirements and specifications. As well as providing vital feedback in their debugging efforts
Collaborate with the global verification team to improve our processes and launch initiatives to improve the overall quality of the design as well as the way of working to become the best in class verification team.

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities

Proven (5+ years) hands-on experience with state-of-the-art verification methodologies and processes, such as UVM / SystemVerilog, Formal verification, Constraint-random verification, Assertions, Coverage metrics, Coverage analysis, Gate Level Simulation, Key Performance Indicators testing, etc.
Strong understanding of ARM related IPs is required: cpu (cortex-a v9 arch), gpu (mali), debug (css600, coresight), etc.
Hands-on experience with designing and implementing C based test-cases to configure and test the ARM IPs as well as the ability to re-use the manufacturer provided test benches
Experience with using and creating a UVM based test environment for block level verification as well as re-using those environments at (sub-)system level
Ability to read and understand RTL code (SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL)
Experience with revision control systems and CI/CD techniques
Phenomenal interpersonal skills; ability to collaborate across teams, and to work independently
Excellent process development, documentation and written and verbal communication skills.
