  • Apply excellent verbal and written communication skills to report verification progress, issues, and results to stakeholders.
  • Automate test cases and regression suites to improve verification efficiency and coverage.

Required Skills and Experience:

  • Solid understanding of SoC Verification (using C Testcases), hardware description and verification languages e.g. SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL.
  • Understanding of Computer architecture, bus protocols (e.g., AXI, AHB), and peripherals.
  • Experience with Tcl, Python or other scripting languages.
  • Bachelor's or master's degree in electronics/computer engineering

“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience:

  • Experience with ARM-based designs and/or ARM System Architectures.
  • Familiarity with ARM debugger and trace features e.g ARM DS, DSTREAM.
  • Experience with verification methodologies – UVM/OVM.
