Responsibilities

Collaborate closely with digital, photonics, and analog designers to gain a thorough understanding of their designs and formulate comprehensive test plans for verifying their work.
Create UVM test benches for subsystem-level verification and provide support for full-chip verification. Debug test benches, identify and address issues, achieve high coverage, and ultimately sign off on Design Verification (DV).
Develop Real Number Models (RNM) for photonics and analog Intellectual Properties (IPs) and conduct AMS verification to ensure accurate model representation. Integrate the RNM models seamlessly into the UVM test bench.
Play a key role in the development of the Golden Reference Model (GRM) for design verification and actively participate in running emulations and formal verification for DV purposes.
