Develop synthesizable transactors and test benches and support verification hooks for verifying memory subsystem functionality and CPU/SOC features. Develop unit level stimulus as well as full chip assembly programs to verify memory subsystem. Develop verification IPs that can be shown by Apple teams worldwide. Work closely with CPU/SOC/GPU RTL design teams and understand the specification in detail for developing verification strategy for the above-mentioned environment taking system level considerations into account. Develop coverage monitors and accomplish coverage goals. Debug failures in both pre and post silicon environments, root-cause problems, and propose design changes to address issues. Develop abstract end-to-end checks to verify CPU-SOC memory subsystem interaction and coherence protocols. Use novel techniques such as formal verification, emulation/FPGA technology, as well as industry standard tools and languages to verify memory subsystem. Minimum Qualifications BS, MS, or Ph.D. in Computer/Electrical Engineering is required. Key Qualifications / Preferred Qualifications The ideal candidate should have 2+ years of processor verification experience. In-depth knowledge of digital logic design, CPU and SOC architecture/micro-architecture and memory subsystem. Strong programming (C/C++, Verilog, Scripting), Software optimization and performance improvement skills. Experience in unit and full chip level test benches. Experience in developing test plans, assertions and developing stimulus. Should be an extraordinary teammate with excellent communication skills, be able to work independently on the verification efforts for a block/area of the design. Experience with emulation and developing synthesizable transactors is a plus.
