Senior Manager, SoC Design Verification

About us:Aeva’s mission is to bring the next wave of perception to a broad range of applications from automated driving to industrial robotics, consumer electronics, consumer health, security, and beyond. Aeva is transforming autonomy with its groundbreaking sensing and perception technology that integrates all key LiDAR components onto a silicon photonics chip in a compact module. Aeva 4D LiDAR sensors uniquely detect instant velocity in addition to 3D position, allowing autonomous devices like vehicles and robots to make more intelligent and safe decisions. 
Role Overview:As a senior leader of the SOC Design Verification team at Aeva, you will lead a team of talented verification engineers to verify new breeds of SoC for advanced perception applications utilizing 4-D Lidar.

What you'll be doing:

• Build, manage, and guide a team of passionate verification engineers across multiple sites.
• Define the processes, methodology, and automation tools to verify the complex SoCs.
• You will be responsible for Block, Subsystems, and full-chip verification of 4D Lidar chips. 
• You will work closely with cross-functional leads - Architects, RTL design and Verification, Physical Design, and System software teams to ensure that SOC meets the functional, performance, and power goals defined in the architecture specs. 
• Define and execute test and coverage plans for Block, Subsystem, and ARM-based SOC using SV/UVM methodology and C/C++ Firmware running on the on-chip processors.
• Work with stakeholders and functional leads to ensure timely high-quality SoC delivery.

What you'll have:

• 10+ years of experience in the design, verification, and validation of advanced ARM-based SOCs
• 5+ years in building, managing, and mentoring large verification teams spanning multiple geographies
• Deep understanding of ARM-based SOC Verification using SystemVerilog/UVM methodology. Writing assembly and C/C++ firmware for ARM processors and debugging in a simulation environment
• Hand-on experience in advanced verification techniques using constrained random verification methodology, building reference models, scoreboard, and self-checking TBs
• Working experience and knowledge in AMBA protocols, CoreSight Debugger, LPDDR, Ethernet, MIPI, and high-speed serdes 
• Experience building teams including hiring, mentoring, scheduling/budgeting, and providing focal reviews and feedback 
• Ability to collaborate deeply with design, verification, architecture, and management teams
• Desire to learn & implement groundbreaking new processes and methodology for continuous verification improvement

Nice to haves:

• Experience in pre-silicon validation on emulation platforms such as Cadence Palladium, Mentor Veloce, Synopsys Zebu 
• Post-silicon bring-up and validation planning and execution
• Diagnostics firmware development and validation

What's in it for you:

• Be part of a fast-paced and dynamic team
• Very competitive compensation and meaningful stock grants
• Exceptional benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, and more
• Unlimited PTO: We care about results, not punching time cards
