Generative AI Expert for Verification Automation

YOUR ROLE

You will drive the introduction and industrialization of Generative AI in SoC and IP functional verification, with a strong emphasis on SoC-level verification flows and embedded software‑driven validation.

You will act as a technical lead and hands‑on contributor, defining and deploying AI‑driven solutions that:

• Automate the generation of directed C testcases for execution on embedded CPUs in simulation and emulation environments
• Accelerate and systematize UVM collateral generation (sequences, drivers, monitors, scoreboards) using AI‑assisted approaches
• Improve coverage closure efficiency through intelligent stimulus generation, analysis, and AI‑assisted guidance
• Ensure all AI-generated artifacts comply with verifiable, traceable, and tool‑integrated guardrails suitable for industrial SoC validation flows

You will actively leverage and evaluate developer‑facing AI tools—including GitHub Copilot and Copilot‑powered workflows—to boost verification productivity while ensuring compliance with security, IP protection, and quality requirements.

You will work closely with design, verification, embedded software, and EDA teams to ensure tight integration of AI solutions into existing verification environments, simulators, CI/regression systems, and sign‑off flows.

You will also:

• Define methodologies, best practices, and guardrails for the safe and reliable use of Generative AI in verification
• Evaluate and prototype AI tools, frameworks, and models relevant to RTL, UVM, and software‑driven verification
• Contribute to the long‑term roadmap for AI‑augmented verification productivity at scale
• Collaborate with external partners, startups, and EDA vendors on advanced AI‑based verification solutions
