DESCRIPTION

APPLE INC has the following available in Cupertino, and various unanticipated
locations throughout the USA. Work closely with design and architecture teams to
understand the functional and performance goals of a design and detailed design
features to develop effective verification plans. Collaborate with all relevant
teams, including design, DV, architecture, validation and software. Work closely
with the team, review specifications, develop verification plan, test benches,
tests and coverage plans, and execute plans to verify hardware design. Define
next generation verification methodology. Implement test benches using System
Verilog and UVM. Implement tests in System Verilog, UVM and C per the test plan.
Implement assertions in System Verilog Assertion language. Automate verification
flows using Python, Perl or other scripting languages. Run simulations on CAD
(computer-aided design) software. Create, run and triage regressions of block
level, subsystem level or chip level simulations. Track bugs and file bug
reports for simulation failures and track them until fix and closure. Analyze
coverage and update tests and constraints to close gaps and achieve top results.
