What you will do
As a hardware developer, you will specify, design and verify hardware components of complex ASICs and SoCs with embedded microprocessors (RISC-V) in System-Verilog. You will also work with constrained random coverage-driven testbenches using the UVM Framework. In detail, this means:
* By performing feature extraction from register-transfer level (RTL) specifications, you will produce verification plans that are supported by metrics obtained from simulation.
* You will also generate, maintain, and expand test benches based on the UVM framework.
* Using your profound knowledge, you will also contribute to tasks like test development and debugging.
* When working with a device under test (DUT), you will develop precise coverage models.
* By writing SVA assertions and scoreboard checkers, you will ensure the correct operation of the DUT.
* Last but not least, you will prepare, execute and analyze regression runs.
What you bring to the table
* University degree in (electrical) engineering, IT/computer science, hardware development, industrial design or another related field
* Fundamental understanding of digital electronics principles and ability to understand HDL models of digital circuits
* Work experience with UVM test benches
* Proficient with the SystemVerilog language; experience working with at least one other object-oriented languages such as Python
* Very good English and good German language skills, independence, and commitment
