THE ROLE: 

This role focuses on transforming complex design data specifications into structured, machine-readable formats (such as XML or relational databases) that can be consumed by verification (DV), design (RTL), architecture, and documentation teams and associated tools. The engineer will act as a bridge between architecture/design teams and DV teams, ensuring data integrity, accessibility, and usability across workflows. 

THE PERSON: 

You have a passion for developing and deploying structured data representations of complex design specifications. You approach challenges relentlessly with both critical thinking and creativity. You are a team player who has excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with other engineers located in different sites/time zones. You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and are willing to learn and ready to take on problems.  

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: 

• Analyze design specifications and extract relevant data for modeling and verification purposes. 

• Develop and maintain structured data representations (e.g., XML schemas, relational databases, or custom data containers). 

• Collaborate with DV teams to ensure compatibility with verification tools and flows (e.g., X86 random code exercisers, UVM-based environments). 

• Implement automation scripts for data ingestion and validation to streamline development and verification processes. 

• Ensure version control and traceability of design data across multiple projects and product variants. 

• Work closely with architecture and RTL teams to capture updates and reflect them in the data models. 

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE: 

• Strong understanding of hardware design and verification concepts (RTL, DV flows, testbenches). 

• Proficiency and demonstrated experience in data modeling and/or database technologies (SQL, XML, JSON). 

• Familiarity with scripting languages (Python, Perl, or similar) for automation and data processing. 

• Experience with AI tools related to structured data representation and analysis. 

• Experience with hardware description languages (Verilog/SystemVerilog) and DV methodologies (UVM) 

• Experience with Formal Verification tools and methodologies. 

• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills for cross-functional collaboration. 

• Strong knowledge of microprocessor architecture. 

• Experience with x86 or ARM Architecture (ISA). X86 architecture preferred. 

• A passion for computer architecture and a good understanding of modern out-of-order superscalar processor architecture. 

• Good software architecture, programming and scripting abilities with C, C++, Python, Ruby, Perl. 

• Demonstrated experience working with design teams working on design data, specifications storage, retrieval and analysis. 

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS: 

• BS, MS, or PhD degree in Electrical, Computer Engineering, or related field of study. 

This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
