General description and main responsibilities
CORTUS is working on the next generation of IoT connectivity modems building up 5G massive Machine Type Communication (mMTC) chipset that will define ultra–low power, high reliability and low–cost benchmarks for SoC products.
To become a chip leader in wireless connectivity for the IoT market, we are looking for Mid/Senior Digital Verification Engineers (m/f) for our R&D centers of excellence.
The candidate must have a background in digital electronic design with at least 5+ years of experience in design and verification languages (Verilog, SystemVerilog), methodologies (Formal, UVM) and well knowledged of the entire VLSI flow.
The candidate will be well versed with verification methodology and create verification plan as well as test bench architecture to run digital and top–level simulations using state of the art EDA tools.
He/She will directly interact with system architects, Digital design team, AMS design teams to lead the verification flows of the CORTUS’ SoC family product for wireless connectivity.
The ideal applicants should be familiar on working in a multicultural environment and with teams spread over several sites.
