* Define and develop the test-bench and test plan for verifying RTL against specification using UVM for SoC verification
* Work with ASIC Architect to create tests to measure E2E performance under various traffic profiles.
* Work with Firmware team to define the test plan to cover firmware use cases and review the waveforms at NAND interface
* Develop complex test cases that involve control/data paths of multiple IPs at chip level
* Responsible for developing, executing and debugging test cases in RTL, Gate Level and FPGA RTL simulation environments using Cadence Xcelium simulator and Simvision Waveform viewer
* Report coverage including functional, code and other metrics using Cadence Vmanager
* Work closely with ASIC design team to triage and resolve issues
