About this role
Job Details: Job Description: This position requires candidates to upload a resume in English; you are welcome to upload multiple versions of your resume if you prefer but an English version of your resume will be required to be considered for this position. We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Senior CPU Pre-Silicon Verification Engineer to join our advanced CPU verification team. In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring the functional correctness and robustness of CPU logic designs through state‑of‑the‑art pre‑silicon verification methodologies
You will work closely with microarchitecture, design, and post‑silicon teams to help deliver high‑performance, power‑efficient, and reliable CPU IP. Key Responsibilities: Lead and execute pre‑silicon functional verification of complex CPU microarchitecture blocks and top‑level subsystems, ensuring correctness against architectural and microarchitectural specifications. Develop, own, and maintain comprehensive verification and test plans, including corner cases, stress scenarios, and detailed coverage goals
Architect, build, and enhance scalable UVM‑based (or similar) constrained‑random verification environments, including reusable testbenches, agents, sequences, checkers, and scoreboards. Define and implement advanced functional, code, and assertion coverage models, driving systematic coverage‑driven closure. Implement high‑quality stimulus and assertion‑based verification (SVA) to validate complex logic behaviors and corner‑case interactions
Execute block‑level and system‑level simulations to uncover design bugs, integration issues, and functional inconsistencies. Debug complex RTL and testbench failures, performing thorough root‑cause analysis using simulation tools, waveforms, formal methods, and collaboration with designers. Work closely with CPU architects and RTL designers to validate intricate architectural and microarchitectural features, review specifications, identify verification risks,
