About the role
Leader of SoC verification activities (PIC) for high‑end AI-enabled SoCs, driving verification strategy, plans, and cross‑functional coordination from conception through tape‑out.
Responsibilities
- Own the SoC-level verification plan, schedule, and achievement tracking from conception through tape-out as primary PIC across all verification workstreams.
- Collaborate with architects, IP owners, emulation, FPGA, and infrastructure teams to align on coverage goals, resolve bottlenecks, and ensure verification requirements are met at every stage.
- Drive verification status reviews, track open issues across teams, and raise risks with mitigation plans.
- Lead risk identification and mitigation planning throughout the verification lifecycle with clear communication to collaborators.
- Partner with tape-out teams to define and close verification sign-off criteria at each tape-out milestone.
- Define and continuously evolve SoC verification flows and methodologies to meet next‑generation AI chip complexity.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree or Master’s degree or equivalent experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
- 15+ years of hands-on experience in ASIC/SoC functional verification.
- Deep understanding of SoC-level verification challenges and flows—from block integration through full-chip simulation and tape-out sign-off.
- Track record of leading or coordinating verification across multiple IPs, multi-functional teams, and globally.
- Excellent time management and ability to prioritize across parallel workstreams under schedule pressure.
- Experience with project risk identification, tracking, and mitigation.
- Proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM-based testbench development; familiarity with C/C++ for directed and hardware-controlled test development at the SoC level.
- Solid understanding of verification infrastructure: EDA tool configuration, regression automation, job farm management, and environment maintenance.
