** About Us **

We are a stealth-mode startup company in Silicon Valley working on a high-performance low power RISC-V processor design. We have an experienced microprocessor design team and are looking for highly motivated individuals who are interested in working on high-end processor design in a small team environment. You will work on the design and verification of high-performance microprocessors, develop methodology and verification tools, execute verification plans to ensure the designs meet functional and performance requirements.

Responsibilities

• Work with architects and RTL designers to understand and influence design decisions, come up with verification • methodologies and plans.
• Research and review industry-standard tools for design verification, including simulation tools, random instruction generators, formal techniques, or hardware emulation platforms.
• Design and implement a verification environment with a team of engineers.
• Develop test plans, test cases, test benches for block-level and/or chip-level designs, debug failures, close coverage to assure the design is functionally correct.

**Requirements **

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related fields, VLSI or SoC verification experience preferred.
• Understand high-performance microprocessor architecture, including cache hierarchies, coherency protocol, branch predictor, fixed-point or floating-point design, and superscalar techniques.
• Experience with ASIC or VLSI design using Verilog or SystemVerilog.
• Experience with verification methodologies such as OVM or UVM.
• Knowledge of scripting languages such as Perl, Python, Shell, or Tcl.
• Understand programming languages such as assembly language, C/C++, and other objects oriented programming
• Experience with functional verification of high-performance processors, developing test plans, writing random or directed tests, create test benches.
• Knowledge of industry-standard simulators and waveform viewers.
• Experience with formal verification techniques or hardware emulation techniques is a plus.
