Experienced engineer focused on Fabric / Memory Subsystem verification for high-performance CPUs. The person coming into this role will work on a server class Fabric unit.

This role is hybrid, based out of Austin, TX, Santa Clara, CA, Boston, MA or Toronto, Ontario.

Responsibilities:

• Functional and performance verification of the Fabric unit for a from-scratch high performance CPU while working closely with Architecture and RTL team
• Develop detailed block level verification plans for a high-performance Fabric
• Design and develop reusable block level testbench components in SV, UVM and C++, that include microarchitectural models, monitors, checkers
• Develop random and directed stimulus that spans pre-silicon, emulation and post-silicon domain
• Evaluate and integrate open-source toolchains into the DV flow
• Develop DV environment, tools and infrastructure to enable functional verification for pre-silicon, emulation and post-silicon
• Work with design, test and post silicon validation teams to ensure high quality delivery of the Fabric / Mem Subsystem block

Experience and qualifications:

• BS/MS/PhD in EE/ECE/CE/CS with at least 5 years of experience
  Strong background and experience with high performance OOO CPU microarchitecture especially with load/store, caches and memory subsystem
• Experience working on a Fabric for a CPU, GPU based systemKnowledge of industry standard protocols such as CHI, AXI, ACE, Tilelink, CMN
• Architectural understanding of memory ordering, cache coherency protocols, memory consistency, multi-processors and fabric topologies
• Significant experience debugging RTL and DV in a simulation environment
• Verification methodologies and techniques – Simulation/debug, TB development, stimulus, checking, coverage, infrastructure, tools
• Experience with C++ / SV / UVM as well as scripting languages
• Experience with hardware description languages (Verilog, VHDL) and simulators (VCS, NC, Verilator)
• Strong problem solving and debug skills across various levels of design hierarchies
