{ “@context”: “http://schema.org”, “@type”: “JobPosting”, “title”: “CPU Design Verification Engineer – (Cambridge, UK)”, “description”: “
A fantastic opportunity for an experienced Design Verification Engineer to join a global leader in semiconductors, working alongside their CPU Team in Cambridge (UK).
About the Role
As a CPU Verification Engineer, Senior you will work with Chip Architects to validate the concepts of CPU and SOC level micro‑architectures. You will work on a selected part of the CPU Design Verification to ensure that it functions to the standards of being launch ready for the end product.
Responsibilities
- Working with CPU and SOC Architects to understand the concepts and high‑level system requirements.
- Developing detailed Test and Coverage plans based on the Architecture and Micro‑architecture.
- Developing Verification Methodology, ensuring scalability and portability across environments.
- Developing Verification environment, including all the respective components such as Stimulus, Checkers, Assertions, Trackers, and Coverage.
- Developing Verification Plans and Testbenches for your functional domain.
- Executing Verification Plans, including Design Bring‑up, DV environment Bring‑up, Regressions enabling all features under your care, and Debug of the test failures.
- Tracking and report DV progress using a variety of metrics, including Bugs and Coverage.
What are we looking for?
- Deep knowledge of Micro‑Processor Verification functions and Architectures, in domains such as: Cache Coherence, Memory ordering and Consistency, Prefetching, Branch Prediction, Renaming, Speculative execution, and Address Translation/Memory Management.
- Knowledge of Random Instruction Sequencing (RIS) and testing a given design, at the Block/Unit‑level and Subsystem/Chip‑level for proving correctness.
- Experience in leading a small team of Verification engineers performing CPU Verification.
- Advance techniques such as: Formal, Assertions, and Silicon bring up, is helpful.
- In-depth knowledge of Micro‑processor functions, Architectures, and Micro‑architectures.
- Experience in writing Test plans, portable Testbenches, Transactors, and Assembly code.
- Experience with different Verification Methodologies and Tools such as Simulators, Coverage collection, Gate‑level Simulation, Waveform viewers, and Formal Proof Tools.
- Ability to develop and work independently on a Block/Unit of the design.
