CPU Pre-Silicon Verification Engineer

Responsibilities

• Lead and execute pre-silicon functional verification of complex CPU microarchitecture blocks and top-level subsystems.
• Develop, own, and maintain comprehensive verification and test plans, including corner cases and stress scenarios.
• Architect and enhance scalable UVM-based constrained-random verification environments.
• Define and implement advanced functional, code, and assertion coverage models to drive systematic closure.
• Debug complex RTL and testbench failures using simulation tools, waveforms, and formal methods.
• Collaborate with CPU architects and RTL designers to validate intricate architectural features and identify verification risks.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to methodology refinement and tool-flow improvements.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or Computer Engineering.
• 5+ years of experience (or 3+ years with a Master's degree).
• Expertise in digital logic design, including instruction set execution, ALUs, control units, and system buses.
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog, C++, and at least one scripting language (Python, Perl, or Tcl).
• Strong analytical and debugging skills with a creative approach to problem-solving.
• Advanced English proficiency.
• Unrestricted, permanent right to work in Mexico.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience developing UVM-based testbenches for reusable and scalable environments.
• Experience with Synopsys simulators.
• Ability to define and implement validation strategies based on architectural and design insights.
