Sr Principal Verification Engineer

At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.

Qualifications

Minimal qualification requires BS/MS degree EE or CS with [ 5-7+ years (T4) ] of experience in relevant experience.

As a [Principal Verification Engineer (T4) ] you will be responsible for scheduling, designing, developing, and supporting UVM-based verification environments, processes, and methodologies for IP models of system level memory such as SDRAM ( LPDDRx , DDRx , HBMx ), DFI PHY, UFS, and complex storage memory models for use on hardware-based verification products.

• Must analyze customer & vendor protocol requirements and execute on highly complex verification projects from requirements through delivery to post-delivery support.
• Must analyze product-wide feature requirements and execute on their verification.
• Must integrate additional related tools and processes—including coverage, reporting, and regressing—to build a robust team-level verification structure and competence.

Additional responsibilities include the following:

• Researching tools, languages, methodologies and prototype processes to enhance product verification as well as to demonstrate product quality.
• Updating, enhancing, maintaining, and supporting existing system level UVM test environments for memory model products.
• Supporting product (IP Library) regression, OS compliance, process automation, and product release preparation as needed.

Job Responsibilities & Skills: [Principal Verification Engineer (T4) ]

• Candidate must be an Electrical, Electronics or Computer Science Engineer with expert understanding of HDLs and HVLs such as Verilog and SystemVerilog.
• Solid experience in simulation/emulation using these languages. He/ she should have expert working knowledge of EDA tools (Cadence/ Others) with focus towards debugging design/verification problems using these tools.
• Deep experience with UVM, SystemVerilog, and C++.
• Must have solid, deep experience on multiple protocols such as UFS Unipro and MPHY, SDRAM, Ethernet, PCIe, USB3/4, MIPI etc
• Experience with Functional Verification of complex digital systems, e.g. SoC Verification, with a Hardware Verification Language (HVL) like SystemVerilog.
• Experience with Functional Verification of complex protocol-based blocks—e.g. UFS / Unipro / MPHY verification—with a Hardware Verification Language (HVL) like SystemVerilog.
• Experience designing and implementing complex functional verification environments is required.
• Experience in process automation with scripting is required.

Behavioral skills required.

• Possess very strong English verbal and written skills.
• Ability to establish close, collaborative working relationships with team colleagues, peers, customers, vendors, and management.
• Likewise, the ability to execute with strong individual and independent R&D skills.
• Motivation and capacity to mentor less experienced engineers and to participate in cross-functional projects.
• Explore what’s possible to complete a committed job while maintaining high product quality.
• Work effectively across functions and geographies.
• Participate in team processes; evaluate and recommend process improvements.

Strongly recommended:

• Verification experience using Cadence simulation and/or emulation products is highly desired.
• Experience in memory sub-system or controller verification and operation is strongly recommended.
