Required technical skills and prior design knowledge to execute the assigned tasks Ability to learn new skills in-case required technical skills are not present to a level needed to execute the projectKnowledge Examples:
Frontend / Backend / Analog Design:a. Project experience in any of the design by executing any one of – RTL Design / Verification / DFT / Physical Design / STA / PV / Circuit Design / Analog Layout etc.b. Strong understanding of the design flow and methodologies used in designing Understanding of the technical specs and assigned tasks: Understand the assigned tasks and have strong knowledge to execute the project tasks assigned by the client / manager as per shown skillAdditional Comments:
• Good understanding of verification concepts and techniques. Very good knowledge of Verilog/System Verilog and UVM. • Experience and knowledge in Verification of IP’s related to different applications. Good Knowledge in Power aware verification and Gate level verification is preferable. Should be able to understand the Full-chip Verification requirements as well and good knowledge in industry standard protocols. • Verification for complex IP’s and close the Verification to the challenging milestones. • IP Verification: VR creation as per the chip requirements and UVM/OVM Test benches creation • Support in building verification infrastructure at the chip level as per the requirements • Capable of handling multiple areas of IP Verification: RTL, Power Aware and Gate Level Verification
