CPU Design Verification Engineer
THE ROLE:
Provide technical expertise for execution on the functional strategy for next generation microprocessor designs. Maintain and enhance existing functional methodology. Improve existing infrastructure. Work on related projects and/or assignments as needed, to meet team goals. Perform project definition, training and documentation. Develop quality, timely and cost effective solutions independently. Interface with architects and TG/PG /Designers. Develop an effective working relationship with parties involved.

THE PERSON:
You approach challenges relentlessly with both critical thinking and creativity. You work as part of a team with strong communication and collaboration skills. You have a proven understanding of modern CPU architecture and have ideas and/or drive to make it even better. Does this describe you? If so, then join us!

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Perform functional feature of high speed Microprocessor designs, including development of infrastructure, directed and random test suites at behavioral level across SoC, Core and block hierarchies.
• Develop environments, infrastructure and test plans to accommodate both full chip and stand alone block level and debug capabilities using simulation tools, debug tools and programming skills, based on in-depth understanding of the architecture and HDL/logical design of the microprocessor.
• Develop an automated regression infrastructure setup for functional of high speed microprocessor designs.
• Based on thorough understanding of the design architecture, develop, run and debug x86 assembly based directed tests and random exercisers to validate functionality and testability operation of the microprocessor design leveraging C/C++/Perl/assembly programming, logic design and simulation skill set.
• Resolve all simulation discrepancies and assertion responses for both behavioral and gate level logic models.
• Measure and analyze coverage results and take necessary actions to fill in coverage holes.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Requires understanding or technical expertise in functional of microprocessor designs.
• Experience with Verilog/System Verilog HDL, programming in Perl, C/C++, logic simulation is a requirement.
• Direct experience with Verilog simulators is a plus.
• Requires very strong understanding of computer architecture and assembly programming.
• Requires good communication skills.

EDUCATION:
MS or PhD with some industry co-op experience desired (all degrees are related to CS or EE).

LOCATION:
Cambridge, United Kingdom
