Job Area: Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Hardware Engineering
Job Summary We are seeking a highly motivated and technically strong Staff Engineer to drive end-to-end verification of next-generation CPU Co-Processor (CPUCP/PDP) Power Management firmware and hardware features. This role requires deep expertise in SystemVerilog-based verification, power management validation, and cross-functional leadership across Firmware, RTL Design and Post-Silicon teams.
The ideal candidate will own verification strategy from architecture definition through signoff, driving quality, scalability, automation, and execution excellence across CPU programs.
Key Responsibilities - Lead the end-to-end verification of CPUCP/PDP firmware-driven hardware features, with a focus on Power Management, Reliability, and System Readiness.
- Architect and develop robust SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches, transactors, checkers, and verification infrastructure for complex SoC subsystems.
- Drive verification of AMBA-based system IPs including timers, mailbox, interrupts, and interconnect fabrics (NoC).
- Own verification planning, test strategy, coverage modeling, coverage closure, and functional signoff.
- Define and implement comprehensive validation for power-management features such as DVFS, Low Power Modes (LPM), clock/power transitions, and firmware-controlled sequences.
- Lead complex debug and root-cause analysis across Firmware, RTL, Design, Emulation, and Post-Silicon teams.
- Develop reusable stimulus frameworks, automation solutions, debug utilities, dashboards, and productivity tools to improve execution efficiency and scalability.
- Support platform bring-up, SoD readiness, feature qualification, HW/FW release validation, and silicon readiness activities.
- Influence architecture reviews and verification methodologies, ensuring best practices are consistently applied across programs.
- Mentor junior engineers and foster a culture of technical excellence, ownership, and innovation.
- Drive cross-functional initiatives spanning Firmware, Hardware Design, Emulation, and Post-Silicon Verification teams.
- Bachelor''s or Master''s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field .
- Extensive experience in SoC, CPU or Power-Management verification environments.
- Strong expertise in SystemVerilog/UVM, verification methodologies, and testbench architecture.
- Proven experience developing NoC transactors, protocol checkers, and verification infrastructure.
- Deep understanding of AMBA protocols and system-level IPs such as timers, mailboxes, interrupts, and memory-mapped peripherals.
- Strong background in RTL simulation, emulation, waveform analysis, debug methodologies, and coverage closure.
- Experience validating power-management technologies including DVFS, LPM, idle states, power sequencing, and reset flows.
- Proficiency in C/C++, SystemVerilog, Python, scripting, automation, and data-driven verification workflows.
- Strong analytical and debugging skills with the ability to diagnose issues across HW, FW, and system domains.
- Demonstrated ability to lead technical discussions, influence verification strategy, and drive execution across geographically distributed teams.
- Added Advantage: Power Aware verification and Gate level simulation Hands On experience
- 1012+ years of industry experience in CPU, GPU, SoC, or complex subsystem verification.
- Proven expertise in pre-silicon verification methodologies, testbench architecture, and verification infrastructure development.
- Strong track record of delivering verification signoff for complex SoC features from architecture definition through silicon bring-up.
- Hands-on experience with automation frameworks,, regression infrastructure, and CI/CD verification workflows.
- Knowledge of system level Power management scenarios.
- Previous experience mentoring engineers and leading cross team technical initiatives across organizations.
