Job Description:

·        Execute FPGA/EDA Software flow testing, i.e. validating the correctness of IDE Flows (Design generation, synthesis, place-and-route, timing analysis, and bitstream generation flows).

·        Create and maintain TCL-based test cases for automating EDA tool flow validation.

·        Develop and review test plans for new features or EDA flow enhancements, ensuring comprehensive coverage of use cases.

·        Perform regression analysis by executing automated test suites, debugging failures, and tracking issues to closure.

·        Design and develop Verilog/System Verilog test benches to verify FPGA macros and configurators.

·        Perform pre-synthesis functional simulations to validate correctness and compliance with requirements.

·        Analyze and interpret simulation waveforms, debug issues, and report bugs to development team in Jira system.

·        Develop Python scripts to automate repetitive tasks such as log parsing, regression execution, coverage analysis, and report generation.

·        Work closely with senior engineers to understand FPGA design flow (synthesis, place and route and Timing analysis).

Requirements/Qualifications:

 

·        Strong knowledge of Verilog HDL for verification.

·        Hands-on experience with simulation tools (e.g., ModelSim, Questa, VCS) for pre-synthesis functional verification.

·        Proficiency in analyzing waveforms and debugging simulation mismatches.

·        Understanding of digital logic design fundamentals: combinational/sequential logic, FSMs.

·        Familiarity with TCL and Python scripting for automation of EDA workflows (log analysis, regression automation, etc.).

·        Exposure to test planning, regression analysis, and bug tracking processes.

·        Exposure to synthesis concepts and awareness of RTL coding styles for synthesis-friendly design.

·        Good problem-solving skills and ability to work in a collaborative team environment.

·        Strong communication and documentation skills.
