To do this, you will lead verification decisions for IP Cores and full FPGA designs used in Clue's computer boards.
You will also participate in the definition of processes and methodologies for the RTL team related to verification, and you will collaborate with the integration of these verification processes in our CI/CD system.
You will participate in the definition of Verification Plans, Test cases and Procedures, implement RTL simulation testbenches, formal verification testbenches and scripts for verification in HW target. You will also elaborate Test Results documents and maintain traceability between Requirements, Test Cases and Test Results.
You will work in a collaborative environment where you will participate in multiple reviews of requirements, test cases, test results, etc, where you will collaborate closely with other colleagues to debug Clue RTL designs and where you will help with the training of other colleagues with less experience in verification.
