Worked on SOC verification - Early debug IP's .

Roles and Responsibilities

• Write test cases to verify end points that security IP can access .
• Security authentication verification with firmware download.
• Involved in VAL bring up of compute die in one SOC . Handled multiple resets until traffic is driven from various sources
• IP verification - VAL Lead
• IP level Verification of trace packet into memory.
• Complete ownership of one debug IP with verification support to other debug IPs
• Executed more than one full verification cycle from test plan to release
• Worked on early bug finding techniques with formal verification tools - Jasper Gold
• Familiar with sub system verification with integration of debug IPs into sandbox model
• Security validation of registers with Intel SAI
• Mentored junior engineers in best practices for validation engineering methodologies improving team skillsets.

• Worked for different clients with expertise in IP verification.

Client -1

• Exclusively worked in bridge protocols , network layer to APB and OCP bridges.
• Responsible for scoreboard bringup and development , functional coverage closure.
• Responsible for reorder buffer agent development .
• Worked closely with design teams for 100% code coverage.

Client -2

• Worked to create test plan for Analog to digital converter
• Responsible for test bench development and environment bringup.
• Responsible for assertion extraction and development.
• Involved in checker development and functional coverage and regression closure

Client -3

• Verified MIPI I3C design with the MIPI I3C verification IP provided by Synopsys.
• Introduced error injection techniques to the design inorder for the DUT to detect the error and fail safely .
• Verified the MIPI I3C protocol checks using assertions.
• Worked on a comprehensive register testing for the same.
• Closed on functional coverage , regressions and testplan reviews.

My responsibilities include :

• To create formal verification assertion test cases for two assertion IP's APB and AHB specifications using VC formal.
• Ran entire regression test suite of VIP for above specifications
• Followed strict process of source code management by using source code management tools
