• Advanced knowledge of Verilog, SystemVerilog, UVM, and SystemVerilog Assertions.
• Knowledge of and experience with ASIC verification flows, including testbench development, constrained-random testing, and code and functional coverage.
• Verification experience with one or more of the following: MAC, PHY, DMA, timer, AMBA bus and fabric, or an encryption/decryption engine.

Nice To Haves

• At least 3 years of verification experience with a wireless or wired communication block or subsystem.
• Knowledge of wireless protocols such as Bluetooth, UWB, WLAN, or Zigbee.
• Proficiency in shell and Python scripting; Perl scripting is also listed.
• Experience using AI technologies in data mining or analysis.
• Experience with Palladium or FPGA validation.
• Team-oriented, with excellent communication skills; self-motivated and well organized.

Responsibilities

• Perform pre-silicon RTL verification of wireless MAC and its interfaces with the wireless SoC.
• Work with design-verification methodologists, designers, and communication-systems engineers.
