Core Responsibilities:
Verification Planning: Analyze architectural specifications to define verification strategies and create comprehensive test plans that outline test cases, checkers, and coverage goals.
Testbench Development: Design and implement scalable, reusable, and constrained-random verification environments using System Verilog and UVM (Universal Verification Methodology).
Stimulus & Constraint Generation: Write complex sequences and constrained-random tests to stress-test the IP across corner cases.
Debugging: Perform deep-dive root cause analysis on RTL design failures and testbench issues using waveform viewers (e.g., Verdi, SimVision).
Coverage Closure: Define and track functional and code coverage metrics. Write covergroups and coverpoints to ensure all architectural features have been exercised.
