Job Description:

Are you passionate about pushing the boundaries of technology? A world-leading Semiconductor Company is looking for Senior & Staff level Verification Engineers to join the company in Cambridge or Manchester, UK in the CPU Group.

Join a world-class team of verification engineers and work on cutting-edge CPU IP. We're seeking experienced verification engineers who are passionate about innovation to help us develop industry-leading designs using simulation, formal, and emulation tools. If you're ready for a challenging and rewarding career, this is your chance!

Responsibilities:

• Developing and owning key components of unit verification environments, such as testbench components, tests/stimulus, checkers, and functional coverage.
• Participating in end-to-end verification processes, from test plan creation to verification closure.
• Investigating test failures and debugging complex technical issues, often collaborating across teams.
• Working closely with project leads and team members to plan, prioritize, track, and coordinate tasks to meet quality goals and deadlines.
• Contributing to verification improvement initiatives across the CPU group and the broader verification community.

Required Skills:

• Proven experience with simulation-based verification of RTL designs, including constrained random verification, coverage metrics, and checking methodologies.
• Strong software development skills and the ability to write flexible, maintainable code in an object-oriented language. Experience with version control systems (preferably Git) and change-based code review workflows.
• Ability to interpret complex specifications and a keen eye for resolving ambiguities.
• Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills.
• Familiarity with assembly language (ideally Arm).
• Understanding of computer architecture fundamentals (pipelining, exception handling, memory systems) and practical experience with microprocessor design.
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog and experience with methodologies like UVM.

"Nice-to-have" Skills:

• C++ programming experience, particularly in mixed-language testbenches.
• Experience with Continuous Integration tools like Jenkins.
• Experience with formal verification.
