You're curious, solutions orientated and a world class problem solver who constantly seeks opportunities to innovate and achieve the best possible outcome to the highest imaginable standard.

You have:

  • Good knowledge in and experience of IP level integrated circuit (IC) verification techniques and methodologies
  • Good understanding and experience of UVM (or similar TLM methodology)
  • Knowledge of SystemVerilog and/or VHDL including classes (or similar object orientated languages)
  • The ability to determine the full verification requirements from analysis of a module's specification
  • Experience of verification planning and the DV life cycle

You may also have:

  • Experience integrated circuit (IC) design in VHDL or Verilog
  • Experience in writing assertions
  • Experience of ASIC design and/or verification in the field of graphics, video, microprocessors or full SoC
  • Formal property verification (e.g. Hector, Jasper, Formality)
  • Knowledge of transaction level modelling
  • Unix shell scripting in Python and TCL
