Senior Design Verification Engineer 

THE ROLE: 

We are looking for an adaptive, self-motivative design verification engineer to join our growing team. As a key contributor, you will be part of a leading team to drive and improve AMD's abilities to deliver the highest quality, industry-leading technologies to market. The Verification Engineering team furthers and encourages continuous technical innovation to showcase successes as well as facilitate continuous career development. 

THE PERSON: 

You have a passion for modern, complex processor architecture, digital design, and verification in general. You are a team player who has excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with other engineers located in different sites/timezones. You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and are willing to learn and ready to take on problems. 

Job Description:

The verification team is looking for a Senior Design Verification Engineer to contribute on the verification of Network on Chip IPs, Subsystems having adequate knowledgeble on the boot flow. The individual will help architect, develop and use simulation and/or formal based verification environments, at block, subystem , Fulchip level, to prove the functional correctness of Network-On-Chip (NOC) IPs, subsystem and SOC designs.

Responsibilities: 

• Plan verification of complex digital design blocks by fully understanding the architecture and design specification
• Interact with architects and design engineers to create a comprehensive verification testplan
• Design and architect testbenches in System Verilog and UVM to complete verification of the design in an efficient manner
• Create and enhance constrained-random and/or directed verification environments, and formally verify designs with System Verilog Assertions (SVA) and industry leading formal tools
• Debug tests with design engineers to deliver functionally correct design blocks
• Identify and write coverage measures for stimulus quality improvements
• Perform coverage analysis to identify verification holes and achieve closure on coverage metrics

General requirements:         

• Experienced with development of UVM, OVM, VMM and/or System Verilog, Verilog test benches and usage of simulation tools/debug environments like Synopsys VCS, Cadence IES to test block level/full chip SOCs and FPGAs
• Strong understanding of state of the art of verification techniques, including assertion and coverage-driven verification
• Strong understanding of different phases of ASIC and/or full custom chip development is required
• Experience in block level NOC (Network on Chip) verification is a plus
• Verification Experience in protocols like AXI3/4, DDR4/5, HBM, PCIe, Processors, Graphics is a plus
• Experience as a verification architect, establishing the verification methodology, tools and infrastructure for high performance FPGAs, SOCs and/or VLSI designs is a plus
• Experience with gate level simulation, power verification, reset verification, contention checking, abstraction techniques is a plus
• Familiarity with verification management tools as well as understanding of database management particularly as it pertains to regression management is a plus
• Experience with formal property checking tools such as Cadence (IEV), Jasper and Synopsys (VC-Formal, Magellan) is a plus

Special Requirements: 

• Architect and implement verification environment using advanced verification methodology such as UVM or SystemVerilog;
• Test plan development and test writing;
• Analyzing and debugging failures using simulation tools such as Synopsys VCS or DVE to verify hard IPs, FPGA fabric or System-on-Chip;
• Functional coverage writing, coverage collection and analysis, coverage closure;
• Writing System Verilog assertions and assertion based verification; and,
• Running regressions, automation using scripting languages such as PERL and verification closure

Education Requirements:

• Masters / B.Tech / M.Tech
• Years of Experience : 5+ Years
