Senior CPU Design Verification Engineer

Senior CPU Design Verification Engineer About the job Be part of a team that pushes boundaries, developing custom silicon solutions that power the future of Client's direct-to-consumer products.

You'll contribute to the innovation behind products loved by millions worldwide.

Your expertise will shape the next generation of hardware experiences, delivering unparalleled performance, efficiency, and integration.

In this role, you will work as part of a Research and Development team.

You will build verification components, constrained-random testing, and system testing, and drive verification closure.

You will verify digital designs, collaborate closely with design and verification engineers on projects and perform direct verification.

You will build constrained-random verification environments that exercise designs through their corner-cases and expose all types of bugs.

You will manage the full life cycle of verification, which can range from verification planning and test execution to collect and close coverage.

The AI and Infrastructure team is redefining what’s possible.

We empower Client customers with breakthrough capabilities and insights by delivering AI and Infrastructure at unparalleled scale, efficiency, reliability and velocity.

Our customers include Client Cloud customers and billions of Client users worldwide.

We're the driving force behind Client's groundbreaking innovations, empowering the development of our cutting-edge AI models, delivering unparalleled computing power to global services, and providing the essential platforms that enable developers to build the future.

From software to hardware our teams are shaping the future of world-leading hyperscale computing, with key teams working on the development of our TPUs, Vertex AI for Client Cloud, Client Global Networking, Data Center operations, systems research and much more.

Responsibilities

• Plan the verification of digital design blocks by fully understanding the design specification and interacting with design engineers to identify important verification scenarios.
• Create and enhance constrained-random verification environments using System Verilog and UVM or formally verify designs with System Verilog Assertions (SVA) and industry leading formal tools.
• Identify and write all types of coverage measures for corner-cases.
• Debug tests with design engineers to deliver functionally correct design blocks.
• Close coverage measures to identify verification holes and to show progress towards tape-out.

Minimum qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or equivalent practical experience.
• 8 years of experience with creating and using verification components and environments in standard verification methodology.
• Experience verifying digital logic at RTL level using System Verilog or Specman/E for FPGAs or ASICs.

Preferred qualifications

• Master's degree or Ph D in Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 3 years of experience creating and using verification components and environments in standard verification methodology.
• Experience with verification techniques, and the full verification life cycle.
• Experience with performance verification of ASICs and ASIC components.
• Experience with Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) standard interfaces and memory system architecture.
• Knowledge of CPU/Processor architectures (e. g., pipeline, cache, memory subsystem, instruction sets, exceptions) like ARM, X86 or RISC-V, is highly beneficial for verifying processor cores or IP blocks.
