Hardware Verification Engineer

Imagination Technologies means you’re a part of constant innovation. We design the key building blocks for market-leading chips that make your tech mobile, smart and connected. Now we’re taking things to a new level. This is a unique opportunity to exercise your hardware verification skills on cutting edge designs within our graphics processor group.

Day to day, you’ll take responsibility for the verification of modules within the graphics core, using modern integrated circuit test techniques for both module level and top-level verification of our graphics cores. You will:

• Be responsible for the verification of one or more subsystem modules within the GPU
• Use modern integrated circuit test techniques for both module level and top-level verification of PowerVR's graphics cores (integrated circuits)
• Monitor coverage metrics to close the verification process
• Maintain the design verification infrastructure by tracking and closing design bugs
• Work cross-functionally with other teams in the business to ensure the verification process is successful
• Identify problems in module specifications to be resolved through verification processes

Committed to making your customers, stakeholders and colleagues successful, you’re an excellent communicator, listener and collaborator who builds trusted partnerships by delivering what you say, when you say. You’re curious, solutions orientated and a world class problem solver who constantly seeks opportunities to innovate and achieve the best possible outcome to the highest imaginable standard.

You have:

• Good knowledge in and experience of IP level integrated circuit (IC) verification techniques and methodologies
• Good understanding and experience of UVM (or similar TLM methodology)
• Knowledge of SystemVerilog and/or VHDL including classes (or similar object orientated languages)
• The ability to determine the full verification requirements from analysis of a module’s specification
• Experience of verification planning and the DV life cycle

You may also have:

• Experience in integrated circuit (IC) design in VHDL or Verilog
• Experience in writing assertions
• Experience of ASIC design and/or verification in the field of graphics, video, microprocessors or full SoC
• Formal property verification (e.g. Hector, Jasper, Formality)
• Knowledge of transaction level modelling
• Unix shell scripting in Python and TCL

Dare to think big? We’ll encourage you to pursue your passion. We listen, we’re open and we’re honest. Whatever it takes to make an impact, you’ll be respected and helped along the way.
