  • Performed verification tasks relating to different subsystems like resets, aes cryptographic engine, and BRAM.
  • Developed testbenches in system verilog from scratch that instantiates our FPGA, binds port signals, and coverpoints.
  • Utilized Synopsys VCS and Verdi/DVE to compile and simulate test designs.
  • Analyzed design specs, created coverage plans, and performed coverage closure.
  • Worked with design engineers to finalize verification tasks.
  • Utilized software programming languages such as Python, TCL, and Makefile to automate testing and test randomization.
  • Performed debug with hardware and simulation.
  • Performed bring up validation for PCIe subsystem utilizing Lecroy Z516, and custom soft ip designs created with synthesizable rtl logic.
  • Created test designs and testcases that would be tested on the FPGA via Hardware-In-Loop (HIL), and also created a script that gathers the results to be outputted in html format with Python.
  • Utilized Perforce for version control when checking in changes or adding in new designs.
  • Performed automation tasks involving a hardware to software bridge using ssh and python.
