If you're ready to be a part of this journey, then we want to hear from you!

As a SOC Verification Engineer, you will build efficient and effective constrained random verification environments that thoroughly exercise complex IP blocks. You will be responsible for the full life cycle of verification from planning to test execution, including collecting and closing coverage. You will conduct, participate in test plan and test reviews, develop verification components and tests, and triage failures.

As a SOC Verification Engineer in the Network and Edge group you will:

• Perform functional logic verification of an integrated SoC to ensure design will meet specifications.
• Define and develops scalable and reusable block, subsystem, and SoC verification plans, test benches, and the verification environment to meet the required level of coverage and confirm to microarchitecture specifications.
• Execute verification plans and defines and runs emulation and system simulation models to verify the design, analyze power and performance, and uncover bugs.
• Replicate, root causes, and debugs issues in the presilicon environment. Finds and implements corrective measures to resolve failing tests.
