- Execute Gate-Level Simulations (GLS) with zero-delay and SDF timing.
- Debug setup/hold, recovery/removal, X-propagation, and timing violations.
- Validate RTL-to-gate equivalence and synthesis/P&R; impacts.
- Perform SoC-level GLS for boot, reset, clocks, interrupts, and functional scenarios.
- Verify low-power features such as UPF, isolation, retention, and level shifters.
- Validate DFT/scan/ATPG/JTAG functionality at gate level.
- Debug failures using VCS/Xcelium/Questa, Verdi/DVE and waveform analysis.
- Correlate GLS failures with STA, RTL, synthesis, PD, and DFT results.
- Automate GLS regressions using Python/Perl/Tcl/Shell.
- Support pre-silicon signoff and tape-out readiness.
