## About the Role

* Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
 * Minimum 5 years of experience in IP or subsystem verification.
 * Solid understanding of microprocessor architecture, interconnects, and cache coherency mechanisms.
 * Hands-on experience with CPU verification (proprietary cores, RISC-V, or AI/ML accelerators).
 * Experience in using AI-based tools to enhance development and verification efficiency.
 * Strong experience in testbench development using UVM for IP, subsystems, or SoC-level verification.
 * Experience with AMBA protocols (AHB, AXI, ACE, CHI) and memory systems (ROM, RAM, Flash, DDR/LPDDR).
 * Advanced knowledge of Verilog, SystemVerilog, and C/C++.
 * Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Perl, TCL, or Shell.
 * Strong understanding of metric-driven verification, including functional and code coverage.
 * Experience with directed and constrained-random verification methodologies.
 * Working knowledge of formal verification techniques and assertion-based verification.
 * Experience debugging designs in both pre-silicon (simulation/emulation) and post-silicon environments.
 * Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
 * Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
 * Basic conversational German is a plus.

## Description

* Perform pre-silicon verification of AI/ML processing blocks, RISC-V processors, or similar digital IPs.
 * Define and develop comprehensive IP verification plans based on requirements such as industry standards, product requirements, architecture, and design specifications.
 * Collaborate closely with hardware, firmware, and software teams, as well as architecture and system engineering teams, to understand IP functionality and system-level use cases.
 * Execute verification plans in alignment with product specifications to ensure high-quality, zero-defect IP delivery.
 * Architect, develop, debug, and maintain UVM-based verification environments for RTL simulation.
 * Develop testcases within appropriate verification frameworks, including stimulus generation and assertion-based verification.
 * Run simulations across multiple abstraction levels (RTL, power-aware RTL, gate-level, FPGA, and emulation platforms).
 * Execute regressions, analyze results, and drive closure of functional and code coverage.
 * Identify issues, debug failures, and contribute to continuous improvement of verification methodologies and flows.
