Principal Engineer - IP Verification
Core
Lead end-to-end verification execution for complex Digital IP and Subsystem designs to ensure high quality and first-pass silicon success.
Role type
Principal Individual Contributor - Digital IP Verification
Builds
Complex Digital IP and Subsystem verification programs for SoC context
Domain
Semiconductor / Digital Integrated Circuits
Deliverable
production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work -> production ML models (Correction: This is a hardware verification role, so the deliverable is verification closure and silicon success, which maps best to 'product features' in the context of IP delivery or a custom label. However, the prompt restricts to specific options. The closest fit for 'what the team ships' in a verification context is often the verified IP itself. Let's map to 'product features' as the IP is a product feature, or strictly follow the list. The list has: production ML models | product features | dashboards & analysis | research | client delivery | infrastructure | physical/clinical work. None fit perfectly. 'product features' is the best proxy for IP delivery.
