Silicon Verification Engineer V

Job Title: Silicon Verification Engineer V
Job Location: 100% Remote
Job Duration: 2+ Months on W2 (with extension every quarter upto 18 months)
 

JobID: 147907-1

Job Description:
Design verification activities to design quality into our products.
Activities include developing and execution test plans and procedures.
Perform functional, stress, system, and other types of testing.
Identification of test tool requirements, and participation in specification and design reviews.
Must be able to execute tests with little to no supervision.
Find complex bugs, root cause and track them while recording and informing others of all appropriate and relevant info.
Must have experience working on larger projects, preferably seeing a project from start to finish.
- Role is very heavily focused on Hardware Modelling.

Job Responsibilities:
• Development of compression models with a Linux environment. However, non-compression IP may also be developed.
• Architectural C/C++ bit exact modeling including testing of these models.
• Architectural assessment of model behavior.
• Some Matlab may also be involved.

Skills:
• Knowledge of C/C++ including recency of experience. Testing of C models.
• Knowledge of working in a linux environment including recency of experience.
• Understanding of architecture, HW, HW modelling. This includes bit exact modelling and architectural tradeoffs.
• Ability to work both independently with minimal supervision.
• Ability to work in a team with a broad range of people.
• Good communications skills.

Typical Day in the Role
• Purpose of the Team: The purpose of this team is working on silicon chip architecture: defining specs for what needs to be made and make C models for a large enterprise tech company.
• Key projects: This role will contribute to the team by updating some existing C models to align with other C models. The role will involve some open ended problems and provide the opportunity to make decisions on how to best proceed.
• Typical task breakdown and operating rhythm: The role will consist mostly of hardware modelling in C/C++, there will be a few regular team meetings.

Compelling Story & Candidate Value Proposition
• What makes this role interesting? - This role provides the opportunity to work on cutting edge silicon architecture.
• Unique Selling Points: This role will focus on hardware modelling in C, however the role will provide insight into a lot of the other aspect of silicon architecture. The role will not be micromanaged and allow some freedom in how they approach the work. 

Candidate Requirements
• Years of Experience Required: 10 overall years of experience in the field. Looking for a seasoned candidate that can work independently.
• Degrees or certifications required: No degrees are required to be eligible for this role.
• Disqualifiers: Candidates without recent, relevant experience in all of the hard skills will not be eligible for the role.
• Best vs. Average: The ideal resume would contain significant experience with hardware modelling, as well as previous experience working on a project from start to completion.
• Performance Indicators: Performance will be assessed based on C model delivery and their ability to resolve open ended problems.
