Job Description

Inviting candidates with a passion for invention and self-challenge. This position gives you an opportunity to be a part of one of the most cutting edge and key projects that Lattice’s RnD team has embarked upon to date. As part of our team, you will have the opportunity to take the lead on and contribute to verifying complex FPGAs. This team will allow you to integrate multiple sophisticated IP level Design and Verification (DV) environments, craft highly reusable best-in-class UVM TB, implement effective coverage driven and directed test cases, deploy new tools and implement methodologies to improve quality of IP designs. By collaborating with other product development teams across Lattice, you can push the industry boundaries of what FPGA systems can do and improve the product experience for our customers across the world! You will be able to learn all aspects of a FPGA, different types of SOC architecture, many highspeed layered protocols, industry’s standard methodologies on low power architecture, best in class DV methodology, verification on accelerated platforms, knowledge on Serial protocols, FW-HW interactions, complexities of FPGA and SOC debug architecture, etc. You'll be at the center of the design verification effort within our silicon design SOC verification team responsible for crafting and productizing state-of-the-art FPGAs. This position requires someone comfortable will all areas of FPGA design verification engineering. Someone that thrives in a dynamic multi-functional organization and is not afraid to take on challenges and solve complex problems using state of the art methodologies.

Description

Understand details of various protocol technologies, such as DDR SDRAM Memory, AMBA based On-Chip Interconnect, Ethernet, Video (DisplayPort, MIPI, HDMI, SDI), JESD204B, PCIe. This includes understanding the implementation of these technologies in Lattice IP’s. Create coverage driven verification plans from specifications, review and refine to achieve coverage targets. Create IP level module and sub-system verification plan, TB, portable test benches, sequences, test infrastructure. Architect UVM based highly reusable test benches and integrate complex multi-instance VIPs, sub-system test benches and test suites to SOC level, achieve targeted coverage, work with design, architecture, SW, FW, and external IP delivery teams to efficiently integrate and verify overall FPGA design.

Key Qualifications

• BS or MS Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field of study
• 8+ years of dedicated/hands-on FPGA/SOC ASIC DV experience
• At least 5 years’ experience in leading a DV team to verify complex FPGA/ASIC
• Proven track record of working full ASIC verification from concept to tape-out to silicon bring-up.
• Advanced knowledge of System Verilog and UVM methodology
• Experience in using programming languages such as C/C++, Perl/Python/Tcl for automation of DV tasks
• Experience in verifying Subsystems like DDR SDRAM Memory, AMBA based On-Chip Interconnect, Ethernet, Video (DisplayPort, MIPI, HDMI, SDI), JESD204B, PCIe.
• In-depth knowledge and experience working with low power design, UPF integration, boot-up, power-cycling, HW/FW interaction verification.
• Experience in hardware validation and debug is a plus
  
  

For the manager position, should be a great team leader with strong interpersonal skills, excellent communication and problem-solving skills and the desire to seek diverse challenges.
