ASIC verification engineer

The job involves IP design verification within digital ASIC & FPGA projects.
The work includes:
• Development of UVM testbenches and test cases for IPs.
• Debugging of test environment and design
• Creation of Scoreboards
• Refinement of assertions and coverage
• Creation of relevant documentation


Most of the verification uses constrained random methodology but also
dedicated test vectors and assertions are used.
A successful candidate is an experienced verification engineer with 5 or more
years of IP verification experience, at least half of the time using UVM
methodology.
Testbenches and verification are done using System Verilog/UVM.
Both written and spoken English skills are required. Personal profile should
also include a positive attitude, a desire to assist fellow engineers, structured
way of working, care with details and a natural talent in communicating with
others.
You enjoy working both independently and in a small diverse team and you
focused on reaching results on time. As a person you must be thorough
and able to work with many different people.
The work will be carried out in a cross functional team using Agile ways of
working.
