• Develop, maintain, and enhance STL (Scenario/Test List) generation scripts and performance validation infrastructure.
• Monitor performance regression status and track key performance indicators (KPIs) across IP and subsystem level verification environments.
• Analyze regression failures and collaborate with IP, Design, and DV owners to drive issue resolution.
• Debug verification tests that fail to meet defined performance metrics and benchmark targets.
• Create, maintain, and update performance test plans, validation dashboards, and result tracking reports.
• Develop and execute System Verilog/UVM-based testcases and regression suites.
• Drive verification closure through regression analysis, debugging, and coverage tracking.
• Automate validation and reporting workflows using Python, Perl, or Shell scripting.
• Work closely with architects, designers, software teams, and validation engineers to ensure feature and performance signoff.
• Required Qualifications
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 5+ years of Design Verification experience.
• Strong expertise in System Verilog and UVM.
• Experience developing and maintaining verification testbenches and regression environments.
• Strong debugging and root-cause analysis skills.
• Experience with verification planning, test development, and coverage closure.
• Proficiency in Python, Perl, or Shell scripting.
• Experience using industry-standard simulators and debug tools such as VCS, Xcelium, Questa, Verdi, or equivalent.
• Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with performance validation, KPI tracking, or performance regression analysis.
• Experience with CPU, GPU, AI/ML, Multimedia, Interconnect, or SoC verification.
• Familiarity with performance benchmarking methodologies.
• Experience with emulation, FPGA prototyping, or post-silicon validation environments.
