Senior Design Verification Engineer – CPU / SoC
We are currently partnered with an industry leading semiconductor giant in the UK looking to expand their team with an experienced Design Verification Engineer to join a high caliber team of engineers working on high-performance CPUs and SoC validation. In this role, you will work closely with Architects to prove the correctness of complex micro-architectures before they reach the hands of millions of global users.
This is a permanent position based in Cambridge – please note this is a full onsite role.
Key responsibilities for this Senior Design Verification Engineer position:
- Work with SOC Architects to validate high-level system requirements and micro-architectural concepts.
- Develop detailed Test and Coverage plans for specific functional domains within the CPU.
- Build scalable and portable verification environments, including Stimulus, Checkers, Assertions, and Trackers.
- Enable all features under your care through rigorous regressions and deep-dive debugging of test failures.
- Report progress using advanced metrics, including functional coverage and bug density.
Key requirements:
- Extensive experience working with CPU technologies with proven skills in domains such as Cache Coherence, Memory Ordering, Branch Prediction, Renaming, and Speculative Execution.
- Experience with Random Instruction Sequencing (RIS) at the Block and Subsystem levels.
- In-depth experience with Simulators, Waveform viewers, and Formal Proof Tools.
- Familiarity with Formal Verification, Assertions, and Silicon bring-up.
