About The Position

We are looking for a seasoned Design Verification Engineer who will be part of the performance verification team working on next generation of a complex multi-subsystem IP(NBIO Org) for client, server, embedded, graphics, and semi-custom chips. The role involves working directly on multiple industrial standards like PCIe, CXL, I/O Virtualizations, Memory management as well as x86/ARM SoC architectures. This is a multidisciplinary function/role, working in a close collaboration with IP design and verification managers, system Architects, SOC verification and validation teams on performance aspects of the multi-subsystem IP. We also work closely with performance architects and modelling teams to execute case studies to help HW Architects to drive the design and features definition for the next generation of products.
