YOUR MAIN MISSIONS

• Responsible for functional and power-aware verification
• Understand functional requirement and design specifications
• Work closely with the architect and designers to define and execute the verification strategy. It includes:
  - The definition of the verification plan (coverage-driven methodology)
  - The development and debugging of advanced uVM-based verification testbench
  - The development of the coverage strategy and tests for parametrized IPs (SystemVerilog language)
  - Functional, performances and power aware verification
  - RTL debugging, non-regressions, verification closure
  
• Provide support to project team members (design activities teams) during project execution
• Contribute to the continuous improvement and maintenance of the verification methodology and flow.
