Silicon Design Engineer

As a Silicon Design Engineer, you will work with Design Verification/RTL Teams and designers to verify the design behavior and contribute to convergence.

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. You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and are willing to learn and ready to take on problems.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Research, design, develop, and/or test software components and systems for semiconductor and related device manufacturing, employing knowledge of digital design theory;
• Perform pre-Silicon Verification of next generation high performance Microprocessor designs and related IPs;
• Perform functional feature verification of high-speed Microprocessor designs, including development of infrastructure, directed and random test suites at behavioral RTL level across SoC, Core and block hierarchies;
• Develop, simulate and debug directed and random stimulus to find bugs in the microprocessor design; verify the functionality and verify conformance to the specifications;
• Document testplans and drive reviews with peers and stakeholders;
• Measure and analyze coverage results and take necessary actions to fill in coverage holes;
• Independently develop quality, timely and cost effective solutions.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Project level experience with design concepts and RTL implementation for same;
• Experience or familiarity with formal tools and/or functional verification tools by VCS, Cadence, Mentor Graphics;
• Strong understanding of computer organization/architecture and assembly language;
• Experience with Verilog/SystemVerilog HDL, programming in Perl, C/C++, logic simulation.

REQUIRED EDUCATION AND SKILLS

• Good knowledge of English;
• Individual responsibility and a strong desire for personal achievements;
• A minimum of a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science;
• Documented and demonstrable expertise in at least two of the following either academic or professional setting:
  • Modern computer architecture, including processor pipeline and memory hierarchy;
  • Hands-on work in C++ programming for either hardware modeling or testbench development or projects of similar scope and complexity;
  • Logic design and representing the same in HDL (e.g. Verilog or VHDL);
  • Hardware Verification methodology and techniques such as simulation, debug, coverage, formal etc.
• Demonstrate good communication skills, and ability to work with a diverse team.
