We value collaboration, curiosity, and a commitment to solving hard problems. We are growing our team and looking for contributors of all seniorities.

We are looking for CPU core level feature / testplan verification contractors responsible for ISA and microarchitectural verification.

This role is hybrid, based out of Austin, TX or Santa Clara, CA. We are open to the idea of remote on a case by case basis. 

 

Responsibilities:

  • Functional verification with emphasis on core level testplanning, stimulus development and regression debug for simulation and emulation regressions
  • Understand ISA and microarchitectural specifications for the Core and create comprehensive testplans
  • Hands-on debug for core level failures. Propose and implement stimulus enhancements and debug capability improvements for core, cluster and chip level testbench environments
  • Develop architectural and microarchitectural coverage for core features and create stimulus for closing coverage in a timely manner
  • Support design deployment across simulation and emulation platforms
  • Develop random and directed stimulus that spans pre-silicon, emulation and post-silicon domain
  • Work with design, test and post silicon validation teams to ensure high quality delivery of the entire CPU core / cluster

 

Experience & Qualifications:
