Job Description

The verification team at Xilinx is looking for a Senior Design Verification Engineer to contribute on the verification of Network on Chip IPs and Subsystems. The individual will help architect, develop and use simulation and/or formal based verification environments, at block and subsystem level, to prove the functional correctness of Network-On-Chip (NOC) IPs, subsystem and SOC designs.

Responsibilities

• Plan verification of complex digital design blocks by fully understanding the architecture and design specification
• Interact with architects and design engineers to create a comprehensive verification testplan
• Design and architect testbenches in System Verilog and UVM to complete verification of the design in an efficient manner
• Create and enhance constrained-random and/or directed verification environments, and formally verify designs with System Verilog Assertions (SVA) and industry leading formal tools
• Debug tests with design engineers to deliver functionally correct design blocks
• Identify and write coverage measures for stimulus quality improvements
• Perform coverage analysis to identify verification holes and achieve closure on coverage metrics
