Xcelerium
ABOUT XCELERIUM:
Xcelerium is a fabless semiconductor company developing advanced edge processors that bring AI processing to high-bandwidth sensors and wireless devices, unlocking hidden insights from every RF signal.
Working at Xcelerium will provide an opportunity to work on a complex development from the ground up and become familiar with cutting edge technologies such as the wireless signal processing, computer vision, sensor fusion, machine learning and the opportunity to create and implement ground-up the latest VLSI methodologies with a collaborative, innovative team. In addition, the application domains will be 5G, UAVs/Drone, Robots, and Autonomous Vehicles which provide enormous scope for growth and making an impact.
ABOUT THE JOB:
As a Senior Design Verification (DV) Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in the verification of Xcelerium's innovative RF sensing and communications SoCs, based on the industry-leading Edge Processing Unit (EPU) . You will be responsible for end-to-end DV activities, including unit-level, integration-level, and SoC-level verification. You will work closely with RTL design engineers and collaborate with other DV engineers to ensure "on-time quality and customer satisfaction" through robust and comprehensive verification of our EPU and SoC designs to, as part of the team, achieve customer, and thereby our, success.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Design Verification Planning and Strategy:
Develop detailed verification plans, including test strategies and coverage metrics, for RISC-V processor-based designs with customized RVV and other extensions.
Define and implement scalable testbench architectures using SystemVerilog Testbench (SVTB).
Testbench Development and Test Implementation:
Architect and implement reusable testbenches for unit, integration, and SoC level verification.
Develop constrained-random verification environments with functional coverage using advanced DV methodologies.
Implement and execute native processor code verification, leveraging RISC-V assembly and C tests.
Assertion and Formal Verification:
Develop and verify assertions using formal verification techniques, including property checking.
Perform functional and formal verification to validate the design against specifications.
Coverage Closure and Debugging:
Ensure functional and code coverage closure with comprehensive analysis and reporting.
Debug RTL and testbench issues in collaboration with RTL design engineers.
Optimize verification efficiency through the reuse of existing testbenches and tests.
Collaboration and Communication:
Work closely with RTL engineers and other DV and DFT
