  • Knowledge of SystemVerilog assertions and advanced verification techniques
  • Proficiency in scripting languages like Perl and Python
  • Familiarity with formal verification and low-power design methodologies
  • Experience in hardware-software co-design and system-level optimization
  • Hands-on experience with DSP and signal processing concepts
  • Intermediate to advanced proficiency in GenAI for SystemVerilog design

Responsibilities

  • Specify and micro-architect digital and signal processing blocks in mixed-signal circuits
  • Perform RTL coding of blocks specified by yourself or others, including DSP algorithm implementation
  • Participate in design verification and bring-up by writing assertions and debugging code
  • Interact with the design verification team to ensure quality and performance
  • Contribute to lab bring-up by writing test scripts and analyzing lab data
  • Propose experiments and validate signal processing performance
