• Chip in for efficiency improvement on verification tools and methodologies
• Continue to invest in interpersonal development, mentor junior team members for career development

Required Education:

• Good university Degree in Microelectronics, Electrical Engineering or Computer Science.
• Other Science graduates would be considered if they have relevant experience.

Essential Experience:

• 5-8 years of proven experience in an IP/SOC product development environment, preferably in power verification.
• Experience with Design Verification standard methodologies and understanding of system Verilog-UVM based TestBench.
• Experience with developing sequences to verify function features of IP..
• Familiar with instruction driven verification of processors based on Assembler or C/C++.
• Familiar with Microprocessor and/or SoC Architecture and micro Architecture, preferably Arm processors and Arm processor-based systems

Desirable Experience:

• Familiar with Power Aware verification flows and standard methodologies
• Languages: Verilog, System Verilog, C/C++, Assembler, Perl, Ruby, Python
• Experience of Arm based System Designs, Knowledge of CPU, Power domains and hierarchical memory system
