  • Excellent skills in System Verilog for IC/FPGA verification, Python and Python-based test frameworks
  • Experience with using common electronics test equipment
  • Au fait with working in a Linux development environment
  • A solid understanding of IC development, electronics, low level comms, processor internals basics, and some knowledge of C or C++.
  • UVM knowledge would be great, but not essential
