Meet the Team

We are part of the Hardware Platform Group, with our team specializing in FPGA verification. Our work spans both sophisticated data-path and challenging control-path FPGAs. The verification process includes crafting the DV architecture, test plan, and coverage plan, all the way through to final DV sign-off. We leverage industry-standard tools for simulation, linting, coverage, and assertions, incorporating various quality metrics to ensure a robust process. Our ultimate goal is to deliver bug-free RTL for first-pass success on the board. Additionally, we collaborate closely with our remote teams based in US and Italy.

Your Impact

* Lead and mentor a team of verification engineers, driving the development of robust test benches, coverage plans, and constrained random tests.
* Ensure high-quality and reliable FPGA/ASIC designs through sophisticated verification techniques and comprehensive debugging.
* Contribute to the adoption and evolution of ground breaking verification methodologies like UVM/VMM, improving team efficiency and performance.
* Partner with architects, logic designers, and software engineers to align on architecture, micro-architecture, and system-level requirements.
* Play a pivotal role in delivering next-generation, high-performance FPGA and ASIC products for Cisco’s networking solutions.
* Ensure product reliability and performance, strengthening Cisco’s reputation and customer trust in its hardware solutions.

Minimum Qualifications

* Bachelor's Degree / Master's Degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering with 7+ years of experience in design verification.
* Proficiency in OOPs, Verilog & System Verilog.
* Confirmed verification skills : FPGA, planning, problem solving, debug, adversarial testing and random testing
* Project based work experience with UVM/VMM methodologies.
* You will have experience with architecting the testplan & test bench.

Preferred Qualifications

* Hands on experience with Ethernet based protocols, PCIe, AXI, memory controllers, OTN etc. will be an added advantage.
* Familiarity with VCS simulation flow, knowledge of coverage & assertions is desirable.
