Job description

At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology. Qualifications Minimal qualification requires BS/MS degree EE or CS with [ 5-7+ years (T4) ] of experience in relevant experience. As a [Principal Verification Engineer (T4) ] you will be responsible for scheduling, designing, developing, and supporting UVM-based verification environments, processes, and methodologies for IP models of system level memory such as SDRAM ( LPDDRx , DDRx , HBMx ), DFI PHY, UFS, and complex storage memory models for use on hardware-based verification products. · Must analyze customer & vendor protocol requirements and execute on highly complex verification projects from requirements through delivery to post-delivery support. · Must analyze product-wide feature requirements and execute on their verification. · Must integrate additional related tools and processes—including coverage, reporting, and regressing—to build a robust team-level verification structure and competence. Additional responsibilities include the following: · Researching tools, languages, methodologies and prototype processes to enhance product verification as well as to demonstrate product quality. · Updating, enhancing, maintaining, and supporting existing system level UVM test environments for memory model products. · Supporting product (IP Library) regression, OS compliance, process automation, and product release preparation as needed. Job Responsibilities & Skills: [Principal Verification Engineer (T4) ] · Candidate must be an Electrical, Electronics or Computer Science Engineer with expert understanding of HDLs and HVLs such as Verilog and SystemVerilog. · Solid experience in simulation/emulation using these languages. He/ she should have expert working knowledge of EDA tools (Cadence/ Others) with focus towards debugging design/verification problems using these tools. · Deep experience with UVM, SystemVerilog, and C++. · Must have solid, deep experience on multiple protocols such as UFS Unipro and MPHY, SDRAM, Ethernet, PCIe, USB3/4, MIPI etc · Experience with Functional Verification of complex digital systems, e.g. SoC Verification, with a Hardware Verification Language (HVL) like SystemVerilog. · Experience with Functional Verification of complex protocol-based blocks—e.g. UFS / Unipro / MPHY verification—with a Hardware Verification Language (HVL) like SystemVerilog. · Experience designing and implementing complex functional verification environments is required. · Experience in process automation with scripting is required. Behavioral skills required. · Possess very strong English verbal and written skills. · Ability to establish close, collaborative working relationships with team colleagues, peers, customers, vendors, and management. · Likewise, the ability to execute with strong individual and independent R&D skills. · Motivation and capacity to mentor less experienced engineers and to participate in cross-functional projects. · Explore what’s possible to complete a committed job while maintaining high product quality. · Work effectively across functions and geographies. · Participate in team processes; evaluate and recommend process improvements.
