• Own the development of a UVM based IP and SoC verification framework for Impinj’s next-generation RAIN RFID Reader ICs to assure A0 production worthy silicon
• Deliver a parameterized, modular, scalable verification, validation methodology and automation framework, enabling AMS and Digital IPs to be seamlessly integrated across different Reader IC SoC products (Handheld versus fixed Reader)
• Lead the definition and development of verification infrastructure such as coverage tools, bus functional models, subsystem behavioral models, RTL code, and System Verilog based test benches
• Leverage your knowledge of advanced analog modeling techniques to enable efficient mixed signal co-simulation and quantifiable analog coverage
• Lead verification of externally and internally sourced IP blocks
• Review and evaluate design verification plans developed by other engineers
• Work with systems and hardware teams to develop and extend HW/SW co-simulation capabilities to enable verification of Reader firmware prior to A0 tape-out
