Staff Engineer - CPU DV

Overview

Lead design verification of a high-performance CPU core microarchitecture, driving DV strategy, architecture validation and coverage closure at silicon level.

What you'll do

• Own end-to-end verification of CPU core components (Fetch, Decode, Execute, Memory, Pipeline, Cache, MMU).
• Validate microarchitectural features such as out-of-order execution, branch prediction, cache coherency, and virtual memory and paging.
• Develop test plans from architecture specifications and ensure full coverage closure.
• Lead verification using System Verilog / UVM, including testbenches, constrained-random tests, scoreboards and checkers, and functional and code coverage models.
• Drive regressions and debug complex failures across simulation and emulation platforms.
• Work closely with Architecture and Design teams to understand ISA behavior (e.g., ARM ISA, RISC-V, or x86).
• Validate corner cases, exceptions and interrupts.
• Perform ISA-level validation and compliance testing.

What you'll need

• 6+ years of experience in design verification.
