About the role
NXP is seeking an experienced verification engineer for execution of SoC verification of complex SoCs, with emphasis on ARM-based microcontrollers, low-power design verification, and multiple interfaces and security IPs. The role is hands-on and sits within a fast-paced hardware design verification environment covering RTL, gate-level, FPGA and emulation platforms. The engineer will develop and own SoC-level and IP-level verification suites, drive DV closure, and mentor junior team members while collaborating with design teams.
What you will do
- Develop and own SoC-level and/or IP-level verification suites with coverage goals.
- Responsible for executing verification plan according to the product specification and verification requirements defined by product architects.
- Responsible for developing, debugging and running UVM based verification environment for RTL/netlist simulation.
- Define and develop test cases in an appropriate verification framework. Create stimulus and assertions, run simulation, debug test cases on the design models (RTL, power aware RTL, gate level, FPGA, Emulation platform), run regression, collect and analyze code/functional coverage
- Drive DV closure on diverse IPs and subsystems, ensuring maximum coverage and quality.
- Good understanding of formal verification techniques and methodologies.
- Familiar with both SoC-level and IP-level verification environments.
- Collaborate with the team in developing and improving flows for maximum reuse and efficiency.
- Mentor junior team members while actively collaborating with design teams for issue resolution and sign-off.
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
- Experience: 12-15 years in SoC/IP verification with participation in successful tape-outs of SoCs.
- Technical Skills: Strong expertise in ARM-based microcontrollers and SoC-level verification, including C based DV.
- Proficiency in Verilog, SystemVerilog, UVM, and constrained-random verification.
- Familiarity with EDA tools (Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium).
- Experience with low-power verification (UPF) is a must.
- Gate-level simulations and power-aware simulations is a must.
- Good working knowledge of assertions (SVA) and functional coverage.
- Verification of multiple interfaces: SPI, I²C, UART, CAN, eSPI is desirable.
- Knowledge of Flash memory and security IPs is nice to have.
- Any experience with common Analog IPs in microcontroller design (ADC, DAC, PLLs) is an added advantage.
- Soft Skills: Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
- Strong team player with excellent communication skills.
- Education: Bachelors or Master’s in Microelectronics, Electronics, Electrical Engineering
Benefits and support
- Compensation and benefits are detailed in the job posting
