Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Hardware Engineering

General Summary:

As CPU Subsystem Firmware DV Engineer you will develop low level firmware for Pre-silicon verification of ARM architecture based CPU subsystem. You will exercise CPU subsystem using structured firmware in Design verification environment, debug issues arising out of the verification efforts with Design Engineers and Architects . You will support Emulation bringup and post silicon bringup. You will write Initialization routines for the subsystem components , develop DV tests to ensure subsystem functionality is as expected .

Roles and Responsibilities

• Deeply understand microarchitecture of one of the areas  in Limits management , power management ,boot and  Debug methodologies  .
• Work with design team to understand design intent and bring up verification suite.
• Modify Structured firmware for simulation use and align with emulation and post silicon teams for re-use of it in those environments.
• Verify Subsystems using advanced verification methodologies

Preferred qualifications
