Performs functional logic verification of an IP and/or subsystem to ensure design will meet specification requirements.
Develops FPGA IP verification plans, test benches, and the verification environment to ensure coverage to confirm to microarchitecture specifications. Executes verification plans and defines and runs system simulation models to verify the FPGA design and uncover bugs.
Replicates, root causes, and debugs issues in the pre-silicon environment.
Finds and implements corrective measures to resolve failing tests.
Collaborates with FPGA architects, RTL developers, and physical design teams to improve verification of complex architectural and microarchitectural features. May also collaborate with systems and software engineers to support integration testing of the FPGA.
Documents test plans and drives technical reviews of plans and proofs with design and architecture teams.
Maintains and improves existing functional verification infrastructure and methodology.
Documents, reviews, and executes the verification strategy plan on different methodologies/techniques (e.g., gate-level-simulation strategy, power patterns/aware simulations) used to enable feature coverage as per the microarchitecture specifications.
