  • Ability to leverage AI tools to drive innovation and efficiency
  • Ability to work in an 'AI-first' environment using modern AI tools to accelerate discovery through hardware development

Nice to have:

  • 10+ years of design verification experience, including verification of complex SoC or large IP blocks delivered to production
  • 5+ years of experience coordinating verification across large SoC or IP programs, including establishing verification flows and methodology
  • Hands-on expertise with Universal Verification Methodology (UVM), Open Verification Methodology (OVM), and SystemVerilog
  • Experience building testbenches, generating stimulus, creating simulation environments, and debugging complex designs
  • Experience with Analog Mixed-Signal (AMS) verification across the design lifecycle, including analog and digital interface verification, AMS modeling and simulation, and silicon characterization through release to production
  • Proficiency in MATLAB for complex modeling and visualization
  • Proficiency in a scripting language such as Python, Ruby, or Perl, including automation of simulation and data analysis
  • Experience writing tests in C and C++
