Required Skills and Experience:
- Knowledge of hardware verification languages (System Verilog/Verilog) and scripting languages like Python/TCL/Shell.
- Knowledge of C/C++ programming language for writing testcase.
- Exposure to all stages of verification: requirement gathering, creation of verification methodology, test plan development, testbench implementation, documentation and support.
- You will need experience of validation for sophisticated SoC products containing multicore and high speed interfaces such as PCIe, DDR, USB, Ethernet etc.
- Understanding of Arm based systems, including SoC system architecture and AMBA (Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture) protocols.
“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience:
- Low-level programming experience including C and Assembler
- Knowledge of advance verification techniques like assertions, property checking etc.
- Knowledge of debugging System and IP level projects using Verdi or Visualizer
