About the Senior ASIC Verification Engineer Vacancy:

As a Senior member of the team, you will be responsible for the pre-silicon correctness and quality of a high-performance and low-power convolutional neural network accelerator ASIC.

This forms the core perception module product for autonomous driving applications.

By closely coupling the novel computational accelerator units with 3rd-party SoC IP blocks to form an end-to-end vision perception module, this ASIC's design achieves record-breaking computational performance at low power.

Some of your responsibilities include:

• Ensuring the pre-silicon correctness and quality of a multi-million gate ASIC that integrates computational accelerators and 3rd-party SoC IP blocks.

• SoC/Subsystem verification of embedded CPUs such as ARM/RISC-V and interconnect subsystem (including C and assembly diag validation)

• Developing the block-level, sub-system and full-chip verification environment and tests to implement test plans.

• Working closely with design and architecture teams to understand the functional and performance goals of the design; and work together to make the design-under-test work under all specified circumstances.

• Triaging and debug functional and performance issues with the design-under-test.

• Handling bug tracking and coverage convergence.

• Performing diagnostic and post-silicon validation tests in the lab.

Ideal Requirements for the Senior ASIC Verification Engineer Vacancy:

• Several years of ASIC verification experience.

• Knowledge of ARM/MIPS/RISC-V Architectures, Memory hierarchy, Cache coherency, Virtual memory, Multicore CPU operation

• Familiarity with AMBA/APB/AXI Protocol

• Familiarity with processor peripheral interfaces like SPI, eMMC, *MII, GPIO, I2C

• Excellent Verilog/System Verilog programming skills.

• Experience with UVM (or similar).

• Deep understanding of object oriented programming principles, constrained random

stimulus, and a coverage driven verification approach.

• Scripting experience (Python, Perl, TCL, shell programming) highly-desirable.

• Interest to explore AI architectures for convolution, transformer and other kinds of workloads

• Self-starter and highly-motivated to work in a dynamic start-up environment.

• B.S. degree in Electrical or Computer engineering (or similar field).
