This role is within AMD's SOC Verification Team and focuses on silicon design verification using UVM. You will create System Verilog testbenches, develop constrained-random and directed verification environments, and use SVA with formal tools to verify complex IP.

  • Create and enhance UVM/System Verilog verification environments
  • Develop test plans for complex IP designs
  • Use constrained-random/direct verification plus SVA and formal tools
  • Debug tests with design engineers and close coverage
  • Track verification quality metrics including pass rates, code coverage, and functional coverage

You will own block-level test benches and contribute to subsystem-level verification, including performance verification and power aware verification. Responsibilities include coverage closure and verification quality metrics, plus coordination with RTL engineers for improvements like clock gating.

The ideal candidate is a silicon design verification engineer experienced with UVM verification methodology and System Verilog testbenches. They can build constrained-random/direct verification environments, use System Verilog Assertions (SVA) with formal verification, and drive coverage closure using verification quality metrics like pass rates, code coverage, and functional coverage.
