• Triage regression failures and identify logic bugs, while driving bug closure.
• Apply scripting, automation, and AI-assisted and agentic tools to improve the speed and quality of the verification process.
• Work with designers, architects, and project leads on design status, verification progress, and issue resolution.
• Work independently as a member of a project team that includes other VLSI engineers and internal and outsourced development partners.
• Provide guidance and mentoring to less experienced staff members.
