Senior Design Verification Engineer

Aeva, Mountain View, CA


Mountain View, CASilicon /Full-Time /HybridAbout us:Aeva’s mission is to bring the next wave of perception to a broad range of applications from automated driving to industrial robotics, consumer electronics, consumer health, security, and beyond. Aeva is transforming autonomy with its groundbreaking sensing and perception technology that integrates all key LiDAR components onto a silicon photonics chip in a compact module. Aeva 4D LiDAR sensors uniquely detect instant velocity in addition to 3D position, allowing autonomous devices like vehicles and robots to make more intelligent and safe decisions. Role Overview:As a senior member of the SOC Verification team, you will be responsible for verifying new breeds of SoC for advanced perception applications utilizing 4-D Lidar. You will architect and develop verification environments and verify complex SoC designs using state-of-art verification techniques.What you'll be doing:Lead and drive block, subsystems, and full-chip verification of advanced ARM-based SOCs. Architect and build test benches, reference models, and scoreboard using SystemVerilog and UVM-constrained random methodologies Define and execute test plan for block, subsystem, and full-chip using SV/UVM and C/C++ FW running on the on-chip ARM processors Work in a dynamic and fast-paced startup environment and work closely with a team of passionate engineers to define and enhance the processes, methodology, and tools to verify complex SoCs.Work with Architects, design and Verification leads, and System software teams to define system-level verification plans and prove that SOC meets the functional, performance, and power target defined in the architecture and design specs. Identify and write functional coverage groups to improve test/stimulus qualityAnalyze Code, Functional, and test plan coverages to identify verification gaps and achieve 100% coverage closureWork with the different stakeholders and cross-functional leads to ensure high-quality SoC delivery on timeWhat you'll have:10+ years of experience in the design, verification, and validation of advanced ARM-based SOCs5+ years in architecting and building constrained random verification environments, reference models, scoreboards and directed self-checking tests using SystemVerilog and UVM methodologiesDeep understanding of ARM-based SOC verification. Writing assembly and C/C++ diagnostic firmware for embedded ARM processors and debugging in the simulation environmentWorking experience and knowledge in AMBA protocols, CoreSight Debugger, LPDDR, Ethernet, MIPI, high-speed serdes, etc.Solid programming skills in SystemVerilog, UVM, C/C++, assembly, Perl/Python.Proficient in debugging complex SOC or CPU core designsAbility to collaborate deeply with cross-functional leads and management teamsAbility to deliver results in a very fast-moving environmentDesire to learn & implement groundbreaking new processes and methodology for continuous verification improvement Nice to haves:Diagnostics Firmware development and validation experience in pre-silicon validation on emulation platforms such as Cadence Palladium, Mentor Veloce, Synopsys Zebu Post-silicon bring-up and validation planning and executionWhat's in it for you:Be part of a fast-paced and dynamic teamVery competitive compensation and meaningful stock grantsExceptional benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, and moreUnlimited PTO: We care about results, not punching time cards$154,900 - $209,600 a yearSalary pay ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, the successful candidate’s starting base pay will be determined based on factors including job-related skills, experience, certifications, qualifications, relevant education or training, and market conditions. These ranges are subject to change in the future. Depending on the position offered, equity, bonus, and other forms of compensation may be provided as part of a total compensation package, in addition to comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, pre-tax commuter and health care/dependent care accounts, 401k plan, life and disability benefits, flexible time off, paid parental leave, and 11 paid holidays annually.
