At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.

Role Overview:
The DV Architect is a senior technical leadership role responsible for the strategic vision and infrastructure of verification for next-generation Tensilica advanced CPU cores and configurable processors. You will define the methodologies that ensure the functional integrity of highly complex instruction set architectures (ISA).

Key Responsibilities:

• Methodology Strategy: Define and own the long-term DV architecture, focusing on scalability across multiple processor variants and generations.
• Verification Infrastructure: Architect simulation testbenches in C/C++/RTL and lead the development of reusable UVM environments.
• Advanced Verification: Champion the integration of formal verification, and AI-driven coverage analysis.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with microarchitecture, RTL design, and software teams to align verification plans with ISA requirements.
• Mentorship: Provide technical direction and set the standard for quality and metric-driven verification (MDV) across global teams.

Required Qualifications:

• B.Tech/M.Tech in ECE with 10+ years of experience in SoC/CPU/DSP verification.
• Deep expertise in SystemVerilog/UVM and C/C++ for architectural modeling.
• Experience with processor integration (e.g., RISC-V or ARM) and industry-standard protocols like AMBA/PCIe.
• Expertise in scripting (Perl, Python, or Tcl) for verification flow automation.
• Proven track record in verifying complex pipelines, memory subsystems, or ISA implementations.
