and to the NFC Design Manager. She/he has strong experience/background in IC verification
for Mobile ICs.
Key Areas of Responsibility
• Develop comprehensive high-quality test environment and simulation infrastructure
for both unit/module and system level verification
• Plan the verification of IC digital design units/modules and full chip by fully
understanding the design specifications and interacting with IC architect and design
engineers to identify important verification scenarios.
• Create and maintain a constrained-random verification environment using System
Verilog and UVM in order to meet functional coverage goals, both on block/unit level
and on a full chip
• Identify and write all types of coverage measures for stimulus and corner-cases
• Debug tests with design engineers to deliver functionally correct design
blocks/modules/units

2. • Close coverage measures to identify verification holes and to show/report progress
towards IC tape-out
• Propose innovative working verification methodologies
• Gives technical guidance to design teams and organize regular training sessions
• Propose patents
• Act as NXP technical representative in front of keys customers during IC verification
campaigns
