At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.

Qualifications

Minimal qualification requires BS/MS degree EE or CS with[  5-7+ years (T4) ]of experience in relevant experience.

As a[Principal Verification Engineer (T4) ]you will be responsible for scheduling, designing, developing, and supporting UVM-based verification environments, processes, and methodologies for IP models of system level memory such as SDRAM (LPDDRx,DDRx,HBMx), DFI PHY, UFS, and complex storage memory models for use on hardware-based verification products.

·        Must analyze customer & vendor protocol requirements and execute on highly complex verification projects from requirements through delivery to post-delivery support.

·        Must analyze product-wide feature requirements and execute on their verification.

·        Must integrate additional related tools and processes—including coverage, reporting, and regressing—to build a robust team-level verification structure and competence. 

Additional responsibilities include the following:

·        Researching tools, languages, methodologies and prototype processes to enhance product verification as well as to demonstrate product quality.

·        Updating, enhancing, maintaining, and supporting existing system level UVM test environments for memory model products.

·        Supporting product (IP Library) regression, OS compliance, process automation, and product release preparation as needed.

Job Responsibilities & Skills:[Principal Verification Engineer (T4) ]

·        Candidate must be an Electrical, Electronics or Computer Science Engineer with expert understanding of HDLs and HVLs such as Verilog and SystemVerilog.

·        Solid experience in simulation/emulation using these languages. He/ she should have expert working knowledge of EDA tools (Cadence/ Others) with focus towards debugging design/verification problems using these tools.

·        Deep experience with  UVM, SystemVerilog, and C++.

·        Must have solid, deep experience on multiple protocols such as UFSUnipro and MPHY, SDRAM,  Ethernet, PCIe, USB3/4, MIPI etc

·        Experience with Functional Verification of complex digital systems, e.g. SoC Verification, with a Hardware Verification Language (HVL) like SystemVerilog.

·        Experience with Functional Verification of complex protocol-based blocks—e.g. UFS /Unipro/ MPHY verification—with a Hardware Verification Language (HVL) like SystemVerilog.

·        Experience designing and implementing complex functional verification environments is required.

·        Experience in process automation with scripting is required.

Behavioral skills required.

·        Possess very strong English verbal and written skills.

·        Ability to establish close, collaborative working relationships with team colleagues, peers, customers, vendors, and management.
