Abdelhamid Jebrane Himmiche
HW IP Verification Engineer, ST-Ericsson
Verification of IPs is a huge and exciting challenge. At ST-Ericsson, the verification team is an essential and integral part of the design team. For each development the verification activity is planned and executed by a dedicated team of experts who are involved in all stages of the project.
In the IP Verification team, we are working to ensure that all IP areas are understood and thoroughly verified. This requires an insight, both of the 'big picture' at the architectural level, and of the detail at the implementation level.
=================================
Essential and Recommanded Skills:
=================================
* A thorough understanding of the verification strategies required for complex IP development, including coverage driven, constrained random and assertion-based techniques.
* Target driven verification expertise, in high-complexity designs.
Experience in block level, unit level and system level verification.
* Experience of VHDL/Verilog/Specman.
* Ability to express ideas and communicate effectively.
* A high level of proactivity, initiative and problem solving.
