Design Verification Engineer

Description:
The Netronome Silicon Engineering team in Boxborough, MA is expanding and has unique opportunities for qualified individuals to join us to continue the momentum and market leadership of the award-winning NFP product family of network flow processors. These are used in carrier-grade and enterprise-class communications products that require deep packet inspection, flow analysis, content processing, virtualization and security. Netronome is seeking highly motivated and experienced Design Verification Engineers to join our Silicon Engineering team to play a pivotal role in the creation of our next-generation highest-performance Network Processor SoC.

Responsibilities will span the entire ASIC design verification process, including the creation of state-of-the-art, UVM-based, coverage-driven design verification environments; verifying components of major functional blocks; creating verification test plans for your components; code development of new SystemVerilog components from bus functional models to test sequences; to the final closure of complete functional coverage.

The role requires a solid understanding of coverage-driven design verification fundamentals, microprocessor and networking architectures, expertise in SystemVerilog code development, as well as proven debug and bug hunting skills.

The successful candidate will work in a collaborative group of highly experienced design verification engineers where knowledge is shared and mentored in strong team spirit. The candidate will work closely with the system architects and RTL designers in a tight-knit local team effort to ensure we deliver the highest-quality first-pass silicon to our eager customers.

Qualifications:
The ideal candidate would have the right combination of technical and interpersonal skills including:
Experience in coverage-driven design verification, networking protocols, system architecture and hardware design.
A history of successfully creating world-class DV testbenches that deliver first-pass bug-free hardware.
Understanding of OOP programming, pseudo-random verification techniques, and functional coverage concepts.
Experience with UVM/OVM SystemVerilog, Python, Verilog and Mercurial is highly preferred. Similar DV experiences with VMM SystemVerilog, C++, SystemC, Verilator, C, Perl, Clearcase/Perforce may also readily apply. Efficacious Specman eRM experience is seen as a major plus.
Experience verifying 10G+ Ethernet, Interlaken, PCIe, microprocessors and complex cached memory subsystems is highly favored.
Other desirable traits for select team roles may also include: packet switching SW, assembly/firmware microcoding (IXP, ARM), and post-silicon validation experience.
Excellent problem solving and advanced debugging skills.
Good interpersonal skills, be a quick learner, and ready to contribute to a supportive team culture, wherever the need arises
Be able to quickly comprehend new challenges and plan the necessary tasks to meet overall objectives in a timely manner
Be self-motivated and able to work independently
Possess clear written and verbal communication skills, being able to classify your DV tasks from written plans, specifications and schedules.
Enthusiasm toward learning and embracing the latest in verification methodologies, techniques and languages in a collaborative group setting is a plus.

Educational/Experience Requirements:
• BS degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or equivalent
• 3+ years of silicon hardware design experience
