Responsibilities

Collaborate with architects, hardware engineers, and firmware engineers to understand new features to be verified
Architect moderate-complexity (one or two engineers as owners) RTL designs to integrate into the larger SoC
Build test plan documentation, accounting for interactions with other features, the hardware, the firmware, and the software driver use cases
Estimate the time required to write the new feature tests and any required changes to the test environment
Build directed and random verification tests using class based verification techniques; preferably UVM
Debug simulation, in-lab, or production system failures to determine the root cause; work with RTL and firmware engineers to resolve design defects and correct any issues
Review functional and code coverage metrics - modify or add tests or constrain random tests to meet the coverage requirements
