- Ability to use scripting tools (Perl/Python) to automate verification infrastructure.
- Experience in developing infrastructure and tests in a hybrid directed and constrained random
environments - Must be able to work independently to develop test-plans, and related test-sequences in UVM to
generate stimuli and work collaboratively with RTL designers to debug failures. - Develop user-controlled random constraints in transaction-based verification methodology. Experience
writing assertions, cover properties and analyzing coverage data - Must have prior experience on End-to-End Mix-Signal SerDes verification with channel modeling and compliance testing.
- Must have prior experience on verification with firmware to control and configure the SerDes and related components.
Preferred Experience
- SW debugging for Mix-Signal based designs.
- Experience with PHY layer verification in PCIe, Ethernet, and/or UAL.
- Experience with FPGA-based verification/emulation.
