We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Senior CPU Pre‑Silicon Verification Engineer to join our advanced CPU verification team. The role focuses on ensuring the functional correctness and robustness of CPU logic designs through state‑of‑the‑art pre‑silicon verification methodologies.
Responsibilities
- Lead and execute pre‑silicon functional verification of complex CPU microarchitecture blocks and top‑level subsystems, ensuring correctness against architectural and microarchitectural specifications.
- Develop, own, and maintain comprehensive verification and test plans, including corner cases, stress scenarios, and detailed coverage goals.
- Architect, build, and enhance scalable UVM‑based (or similar) constrained‑random verification environments, including reusable testbenches, agents, sequences, checkers, and scoreboards.
- Define and implement advanced functional, code, and assertion coverage models, driving systematic coverage‑driven closure.
- Implement high‑quality stimulus and assertion‑based verification (SVA)



to validate complex logic behaviors and corner‑case interactions.
- Execute block‑level and system‑level simulations to uncover design bugs, integration issues, and functional inconsistencies.
- Debug complex RTL and testbench failures, performing thorough root‑cause analysis using simulation tools, waveforms, formal methods, and collaboration with designers.
- Work closely with CPU architects and RTL designers to validate intricate architectural and microarchitectural features, review specifications, identify verification risks, and propose design or methodology improvements.
- Drive technical reviews and document verification strategies, methodologies, and results, ensuring alignment across architecture, design, and verification teams.
- Enhance verification infrastructure and methodologies, enabling higher automation, scalability, and productivity across the team.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to best‑practice development, meth
