• Mentor and elevate team capabilities, fostering a culture of excellence, knowledge sharing, and mutual growth.  
• Influence the adoption of best practices in DFT, protocol compliance, and subsystem integration across the organization.  
• Support strategic decision-making by providing technical insights and market-driven recommendations.

What You’ll Need:

• 3-5 years of relevant experience in ASIC digital design and verification.  
• Proficiency in RTL simulation, logic synthesis, and timing verification tools.  
• Deep expertise in UVM, SystemVerilog, and protocol verification (e.g., IEEE1500, IEEE1687, AXI, AMBA).  
• Hands-on experience with VIPs and transactors in simulation and emulation environments.  
• Strong understanding of DFT architectures, interconnects, and cache coherency protocols.  
• Familiarity with debug tools such as Verdi and workflows for performance analysis.  
• Programming skills in SystemVerilog, UVM, Verilog, C/C++, Python, and scripting languages like Tcl.  
• Experience with EDA tools such as VCS, Verdi, and DC, and methodologies including VC Auto-Testbench and protocol compliance checking.

Who You Are:

• Analytical thinker with exceptional problem-solving skills.  
• Effective communicator, able to collaborate across disciplines and with external partners.  
• Proactive, self-motivated, and adaptable in fast-paced environments.  
• Committed to quality, detail, and continuous learning.  
• Team player who values diversity, inclusion, and mentorship.  
• Customer-focused, dedicated to delivering timely and effective solutions.
