Senior Design Verification Engineer – High Performance CPU Core

3+ years of relevant experience in IP, CPU/core, or SoC functional verification, preferably with experience in CPU/core verification.

Strong hands-on experience with SystemVerilog and UVM-based verification methodologies.

Solid understanding of computer architecture and CPU microarchitecture fundamentals.

Experience with test planning, testbench development, constrained-random verification, failure analysis, coverage analysis, and coverage closure.

Strong debug skills and the ability to translate architectural intent into effective verification strategy and execution.

Strong programming and scripting fundamentals for building scalable verification solutions.

SiFive is looking for a Senior Design Verification Engineer to drive functional verification of high-performance CPU core units.

This role focuses on high-performance out-of-order core verification, with potential scope across areas such as Frontend, Midcore, Load-Store Unit, and Hardware Prefetch.
