Position Overview

The IC Verification Solutions (ICVS) Division is seeking a QA Test Engineer to join the QuestaSim Quality Assurance Team. QuestaSim is one of the leading high-performance, high-capacity simulators, offering a unified and advanced debugging environment for hardware designs. In this role, you'll gain exposure to advanced functional verification solutions for complex hardware designs while building a solid foundation in hardware design and verification environments. You'll work with a wide range of Hardware Description Languages (HDLs) and testbench specification languages, including Verilog, SystemVerilog, VHDL, SystemC, SVA, UPF, and UVM.

Key Responsibilities:

• Master the QuestaSim Simulator and develop a strong understanding of the underlying technology.
• Write, maintain, and execute product test and quality plans.
• Design, execute, and summarize test cases.
• Participate in various types of product testing, including integration testing, regression testing, license testing, installation testing, and GUI testing throughout the release lifecycle.
• Build and maintain test automation frameworks to eliminate manual testing effort and reduce testing turnaround time.
• Understand customer use cases and support the integration of customer designs into test environments.
• Perform product benchmarking and performance measurement activities to capture tool performance data across releases.
• Report, validate, and triage defects to identify root causes and determine their severity before communicating findings to R&D teams.
• Utilize code coverage techniques and tools to quantitatively assess product test coverage.
• Assist in the deployment and monitoring of qualification techniques such as static code analysis (linting), dynamic code analysis, and memory leak detection.

Qualifications:

• B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Excellent knowledge of digital and RTL design fundamentals.
• Strong knowledge of Hardware Description Languages (Verilog, VHDL, or SystemVerilog) is required.
• Knowledge of UVM is a strong advantage.
• Solid knowledge of assertion specification languages such as PSL, SVA, or OVL is a plus.
• Experience with scripting languages such as Shell, Perl, and Python, as well as Qt, is required.
• Familiarity with quality assurance concepts, software testing, testing strategies, test planning, and test automation tools.
• Knowledge of defect tracking systems, configuration management, and code profiling tools.
• Highly developed communication skills, including the ability to present ideas and share knowledge effectively with others.
