• Verification of digital hardware architectures.

• Creating, reviewing, and maintaining verification plans, and tracking verification progress.

• Specifying and developing verification strategies, tests, and environments for security features and hardware co‑processors.

• Working with emerging verification methodologies and introducing them into existing verification flows.

Your Profile

• BSc., or MSc., degree in Electronics or Electrical Engineering.

• Strong hands-on experience with SystemVerilog for testbench development and verification.

• Proven expertise in UVM (Universal Verification Methodology), including component creation, sequences, drivers, monitors, and scoreboards.

• Solid understanding and practical use of Constrained Random Verification techniques.

• Experience with Metrics‑Driven Verification, including functional coverage and verification planning.

• Ability to write SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) for protocol and design checking.

• Demonstrated success in achieving Coverage Closure across functional and code coverage metrics.

• Experience analysing coverage results and refining test strategies to close gaps.

• Strong debugging skills across simulations and complex verification environments.

• Knowledge of Formal Verification methods would be advantageous.
