• Create test plan documentation, based on use cases defined by hardware designers and architects, coordinate technical reviews within the team
• Drive regression triage meetings with team, and drive daily scrum for various projects as well as manage backlogs and planning
• Actively involved in developing new ideas to improve the engineering infrastructure, methodology and execution
• Provide technical support to the team to debug both functional and performance test failures to determine the problem’s root cause.
• Work with RTL designers and SoC/IP Architects to resolve HW and configuration related performance issues
• Analyze and review performance results with SoC/Chip leads and suggest potential solutions.
• Work on performance case studies with Performance architects, facilitating research through generating results and scripts to analyze results
• Write detailed reports to publish performance results and present them in various management readouts

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:  

• Proficient in IP level ASIC verification 
• Proficient in debugging firmware and RTL code using simulation tools  

• Proficient in using UVM testbenches and working in Linux and Windows environments
