• Sequenced and time‑bound data movement in DSP structures (time slots, time stamps, etc.)
• AMS verification
• SOC top‑level verification using models for analog macros
• Verification using golden reference models in MATLAB, SystemC or C
• Code coverage
• Emulators: qualification for release, compatibility of test cases, reproduce and debug failures, partition verification and assess coverage between this and simulation
• Portable verification across block level and top level, FPGA and ASIC, RTL and gate, pre‑silicon and silicon/prototyping (lab bring‑up and test): common method for configuring, stimulus, checking, reusability across environments, efficient methods for doing this

Post‑Silicon

• Post silicon bring‑up
• Support for post‑silicon and FPGA in the same pre‑silicon environment (portable bench/sim platforms). Compatibility of test cases, reproduce and debug failures, accelerate software development

FPGA

• ASIC to/from FPGA flow
• Prototyping: qualification for release, different design configurations and top levels, compatibility of test cases, reproduce and debug failures, accelerate software development, partition verification and assess coverage between this and simulation

Minimum Qualifications

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field.
• 8+ years of experience.
• Deep working knowledge and hands‑on experience in innovative verification flows.
