IC Verification Intern
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc.
Collaborated on UVM-based functional verification and regression workflows using vManager, supporting 100+ regression runs in a Linux verification environment.
- 01Leveraged AI tools to accelerate regression analysis, debugging, verification reporting, and license optimisation, reducing manual effort by 25-30% across large-scale workflows.
- 02Analysed regression, coverage, and traceability reports to identify verification gaps, improve functional coverage by approximately 10-15%, uncover missing test scenarios, and generate tailored reports for 3+ engineering disciplines.
- 03Supported day-to-day regression health in a Linux verification environment by tracking failing runs, monitoring tool and license usage, and turning verification outputs into actionable updates for cross-functional engineering teams.
