- Design and implement advanced verification environments, tools, and testplans enabling first-pass silicon success; develop sophisticated testbenches, checkers, VIPs, and complex behavioral models
- Collaborate closely with architecture, design, and software teams from initial product definition and specification reviews through implementation, bringup, and productization phases; balance complexity and ensure timely, high-quality execution
- Drive ownership of multiple critical blocks and verification components; take full responsibility for functional signoffs and achievement of performance and power metrics
- Lead IP delivery to multiple customers while ensuring technical excellence; balance competing requirements, schedules, and resources across teams
- Champion innovation across simulation, formal, and accelerated verification methodologies; develop and evaluate new ML-based flows and hybrid software frameworks
- Mentor and develop verification engineers; establish verification best practices and drive organizational technical excellence
