KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Develop and verify embedded firmware for SoC secure boot and microprocessor-driven hardware acceleration services, including cryptography, compression, and DMA
• Perform hardware/firmware co-verification using UVM System Verilog, C-DPI, and FPGA-based prototyping platforms
• Define and maintain subsystem verification architecture, testbenches, and methodologies for embedded CPU and IP subsystems using AXI/AHB interfaces
• Collaborate on subsystem specification and influence hardware and firmware co-design, including developing abstracted performance models and evaluating architecture trade-offs
• Develop and execute block- and subsystem-level test plans using UVM randomized and C-DPI directed methodologies
• Build and maintain verification infrastructure, including UVCs, system response models, integration scripts, and build/run environments
• Drive verification closure, improve coverage metrics, and debug complex hardware/firmware interactions
• Interface with SoC integration and DV teams to support IP-level APIs, SoC-level validation, emulation, silicon bring-up, and debug

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
