CPU Architect Verification Engineer
Core
Architectural verification of a high-performance, low-power CPU against specification and golden reference models to ensure architectural correctness.
Role type
Senior IC CPU Architect Verification Engineer
Builds
Verification environments, stimulus, checkers, and flows for CPU architectural validation
Domain
Semiconductor / CPU Design / Digital Logic
Required skills
