CPU Design Verification Engineer
European Tech Recruit are working closely with a leading semicon company, based in Cambridge, who are looking for a talented CPU Design Verification Engineer to join their team.
In this role you will work with Chip Architects to validate the concepts of CPU and SOC level micro-architectures. You will work on a selected part of the CPU Design Verification to ensure that it functions to the standards of being launch ready for the end product.
Responsibilities as CPU Design Verification Engineer:
* Working with CPU and SOC Architects to understand the concepts and high-level system requirements.
* Developing detailed Test and Coverage plans based on the Architecture and Micro-architecture.
* Developing Verification Methodology, ensuring scalability and portability across environments.
* Developing Verification environment, including all the respective components such as Stimulus, Checkers, Assertions, Trackers, and Coverage.
* Developing Verification Plans and Testbenches for your functional domain.
* Executing Verification Plans, including Design Bring-up, DV environment Bring-up, Regressions enabling all features under your care, and Debug of the test failures.
* Tracking and report DV progress using a variety of metrics, including Bugs and Coverage.
Requirements:
* Deep knowledge of Micro-Processor Verification functions and Architectures, in domains such as: Cache Coherence, Memory ordering and Consistency, Prefetching, Branch Prediction, Renaming, Speculative execution, and Address Translation/Memory Management.
* Knowledge of Random Instruction Sequencing (RIS) and testing a given design, at the Block/Unit-level and Subsystem/Chip-level for proving correctness.
* Experience in leading a small team of Verification engineers performing CPU Verification.
