Lead Application Engineer - SoC Performance Analysis
Cadence
At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.Key Responsibilities:Execute System-Level Verification: Develop and run test plans for ARM-based SoCs using UVM methodology, focusing on subsystem and SoC-level interactions. Performance Testing: Create scenarios to analyze system performance (latency, throughput, bandwidth), collect metrics, and collaborate with architects to identify bottlenecks. Testbench Development: Contribute to building and maintaining modular UVM testbenches for system-level features, interconnect traffic, and power sequences.Scenario-Based Testing: Simulate real-world use cases involving multi-core operations, memory traffic (AMBA), and boot sequences. Required Skills & Qualifications:Bachelor’s/Master’s in Electrical/Computer Engineering or related field.3-5 years of hands-on ASIC/SoC verification experience.UVM Proficiency: Demonstrated experience developing UVM testbenches and test sequences.AMBA Knowledge: Working experience with AMBA protocols (AXI, AHB, APB)ARM Exposure: Understanding of ARM SoC architectures (Cortex-A/M/R cores, memory subsystems).System Verification: Experience verifying IP/sub-system interactions within an SoC context.Performance Awareness: Ability to develop performance tests and interpret simulation metrics.Debug Skills: Competence in debugging testbench/RTL failures using waveforms/logs.Technical Skills: Proficient in SystemVerilog and scripting (Python/Perl/Tcl).Tool Experience: Exposure to industry simulators (VCS, Xcelium, or Questa).Preferred Skills:Exposure to multi-core/coherency protocols (e.g., ACE/CHI).Familiarity with C/C++ for test stimulus or firmware interaction.Basic understanding of low-power verification concepts (UPF/CPF).Awareness of high-speed interfaces (PCIe, USB, DDR).Interest in performance modeling or emulation (Palladium/Zebu/HAPS).We’re doing work that matters. Help us solve what others can’t.
