Design Verification Engineer

Scope:
* Design and development of the IO subsystems for a high-performance SoC from scratch, working closely with the Architecture and RTL teams.
* Develop detailed block-level design specifications and plans for a high-performance IO Subsystem.
* Create and implement reusable block-level components in SV, UVM, and C , including microarchitectural models, monitors, and checkers.
* Develop and optimize the IO subsystem design to ensure functionality and performance are in accordance with architectural specifications
* Evaluate and integrate open-source toolchains into the design flow.
* Collaborate with the design, test, and post-silicon validation teams to ensure high-quality delivery of the IO Subsystems

Required:
* BS/MS/PhD in EE/ECE/CE/CS with 5 years of experience in IO subsystem design.
* Extensive experience with IO protocols such as PCIe, Ethernet, CXL, and die-to-die protocols (e.g., BoW, UCIe)
* Expertise in designing IO subsystems for CPU- and GPU-based architectures, with a deep understanding of protocols like PCIe, AXI, and CHI.
* Proven experience in tightly coupling hardware with CPUs, ensuring efficient memory access, optimized data paths, and seamless interaction between IO devices and processing cores
* Solid knowledge of PCIe architectural features: ordering rules, non-coherent flows, IO-device memory flows, peer-to-peer communication, bifurcation, and transaction types (posted vs. non-posted).
* Experience with Ethernet protocols, including MAC/PHY design, implementation of packet handling, flow control, and integration of TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking) features. Familiarity with Ethernet-based SoC architectures, low-latency optimizations, and debugging of Ethernet IP in hardware simulation environments using SystemVerilog and UVM for verification.
* Demonstrated problem-solving skills across complex design hierarchies, with the ability to debug and optimize in simulation environments.
