Requirements
  • BS/MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, with at least 5 years of experience in Ethernet Subsystem Verification or SoC DV
  • Strong background in Ethernet protocol stack verification, including MAC, PHY, and industry-standard networking protocols (e.g., IEEE 802.3)
  • Experience working on Ethernet controllers and subsystems for SoC or networked systems
  • Knowledge of Ethernet-related standards such as IEEE 1588 (Precision Time Protocol) and energy-efficient Ethernet
  • Significant experience debugging RTL and DV in a simulation environment, including using SystemVerilog, UVM, and C++
  • Familiarity with verification methodologies and techniques, including testbench development, stimulus generation, checking, and coverage analysis
  • Experience with hardware description languages (Verilog, VHDL) and simulators (e.g., VCS, NC, Verilator)
  • Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Perl) for automation
  • Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, with the ability to identify and resolve complex issues related to Ethernet functionality across multiple layers of the design hierarchy
Responsibilities
  • Functional and performance verification of the Ethernet subsystem for a high-performance SoC, working closely with Architecture and RTL teams
  • Develop detailed block-level verification plans for Ethernet MAC and PHY components, including verification of industry-standard protocols (e.g., IEEE 802.3)
  • Design and develop reusable block-level testbench components in SV, UVM, and C++, including microarchitectural models, monitors, and checkers for Ethernet interfaces
  • Create and execute random and directed test cases for pre-silicon, emulation, and post-silicon verification of Ethernet functionality
  • Evaluate and integrate open-source and industry-standard toolchains into the DV flow for Ethernet protocols
  • Develop the DV environment, tools, and infrastructure to enable functional verification of Ethernet components at various stages of development
  • Work with design, test, and post-silicon validation teams to ensure high-quality delivery of the Ethernet subsystem
  • Debug Ethernet interfaces, protocol issues, and performance bottlenecks in simulation environments
