CPU Verification Engineer

CPU Verification Engineers

Experience : 4+ years

Location : Bangalore & Hyderabad

We are seeking a skilled and motivated CPU Verification Engineer to join our microprocessor verification team. In this role, you will contribute to the verification of Super scalar, high-performance, low-power CPU cores by developing scalable testbenches, driving complex test scenarios, and ensuring full functional coverage and quality sign-off.

Experience with RISC-V instruction set will be an added advantage

Key Responsibilities:

Develop and maintain UVM-based testbenches for verifying CPU cores and subsystems

Write directed and random test cases to verify micro architectural features such as pipelines, ALUs, branch prediction, caches, MMUs, etc.

Drive functional and code coverage closure

Debug failures using waveform tools, logs, and simulation dumps

Collaborate with architecture, RTL design, performance, and formal verification teams

Define and implement verification plans, test strategies, and regressions

Participate in specification reviews, microarchitecture discussions, and design quality assessments

Support post-silicon validation and bring-up teams when needed

Required Skills:

Strong hands-on experience with SystemVerilog and UVM methodology

Deep understanding of CPU microarchitecture (pipeline, out-of-order execution, caches, TLBs, memory hierarchy)

. Write directed and random test cases to verify micro architectural features such as pipelines (fetch, issue, decode), ALUs/LSU/FPU(execution units), branch prediction, caches, MMUs, etc.

Expertise in RTL simulation and debugging tools (VCS, ModelSim, Verdi, DVE, etc.)

Familiarity with scripting languages like Python, Perl, or shell for automation

Good knowledge of functional coverage and assertion-based verification

Exposure to cache coherency, virtual memory systems, or multi-core architectures is a plus

Experience with formal verification, emulation, or post-silicon debug is a bonus
