Job Information
Amazon Sr. SoC Design Verification Engineer, Lab126 in Bangalore, India
Description
The team that built the innovative Silicon IP AZ1 Neural Edge that is powering the latest generation of Echo devices is looking for a Senior Design Verification Engineer to continue to innovate on behalf of our customers. We are a part of Amazon Lab126 that revolutionized reading with our Kindle family of products and reimagined user experience through Echo and Alexa. We want you to help us build on the success of our first generation of ML accelerator at edge.
Work hard. Have fun. Make history.
As a Sr. SoC Verification Engineer, you will define verification methodology and implement the corresponding verification plan for the SoC. You will participate in the design verification and bring-up of the SoC by writing relevant tests, coverages, assertions, developing automation infrastructure, debugging code, test benches, test harnesses, while interacting with the extended team and while guiding the junior members in the team. You will potentially support/participate in the lab bring-up of the SoC either in FPGA, emulation, or silicon by porting and extending testplans, analyzing lab data, proposing experiments, etc. You will work closely with multi-disciplinary groups including Product Design, Audio Technology, Computer Vision, Hardware and Software Engineering, to create a multi-model SoC that enables development of world-class hardware devices.
The ideal candidate should have experience with RTL development environments, developing/understanding automation infrastructures, fluency in modern verification methodologies and verifying complex SoC or similar consumer devices silicon. We are looking for a self-driven individual who can work with architects, HW and SW developers and can quickly resolve blocking issues.
In this role, you will:
Design world class hardware and software
Communicate and work with team members across multiple disciplines
Create SoC verification plans working with design engineers and architects
Create and enhance constrained-random verification environments using SystemVerilog and UVM
Write tests in C to run out of different cores
Identify and write structural and functional coverage measures for stimulus and corner-cases.
Debug tests to deliver functionally correct SoC
Participate in test plan and coverage reviews
Basic qualifications
Bachelor’s degree or higher in EE, CE, or CS
10+ years or more of practical semiconductor design verification including System Verilog, UVM, assertions and coverage driven verification.
Experience using multiple verification platforms: UVM test bench, emulator, software environments and system testing
Experience defining verification methodologies
Experience with test plan development, test bench infrastructure, developing tests and verifying the design
Experience with writing directed/constrained-random tests
Experience identifying bugs in architecture, functionality and performance with strong overall debug skills
Experience verifying at multiple levels of logic from SoCs to full system testing
Experience with industry standard tools and scripting languages (Python or Perl) for automation
Excellent verbal and written communication skills
Preferred qualifications
MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
10+ years or more of practical semiconductor design verification including System Verilog, UVM, assertions and coverage driven verification.
Experience with ARM and various DSP ISA
Experience with CPU block level testing
Experience debugging system-level issues
Strong programming skills in C/C++ and scripting skills in Python and/or Perl
experience with high performance industry standard IO interfaces like AMBA AXI4, USB, MIPI etc.
Experience with formal verification
Experience with embedded software
Experience with transaction level modeling
Knowledge of FPGA and emulation platforms
Knowledge of SoC architecture
