We are seeking an experienced and innovative Design Verification Engineer to join a world-class silicon design verification team. This role partners closely with digital and analog designers, systems and applications engineers, firmware/software teams, and manufacturing test to deliver high-quality mixed-signal IC solutions. You will be responsible for end-to-end functional verification across block-level and chip-level designs, contributing to advanced verification methodologies and infrastructure.
This position offers exposure to multiple verification domains including UVM-based testbench development, formal verification, hardware emulation/acceleration, gate-level simulations, and software-driven verification in a highly collaborative and technically rigorous environment.
Responsibilities:
- Develop comprehensive verification plans aligned with design and system requirements.
- Perform functional verification of custom mixed-signal ASICs at block and chip level.
- Design and implement UVM-based testbenches, including infrastructure, scoreboards, checkers, and assertions.
- Create directed and constrained-random test suites to ensure robust functional coverage.
- Implement, analyze, and drive functional and code coverage, including coverage closure.
- Conduct failure analysis, regression triage, and debug, resolving functional and timing-related issues.
- Run and debug gate-level simulations, including timing violations and back-annotation issues.
- Develop and maintain digital and mixed-signal behavioral models to support verification.
- Support verification flow and infrastructure development, including regressions and automation.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with digital/analog design, systems, applications, firmware/software, and manufacturing test teams.
- Contribute to both pre-silicon verification and post-silicon validation efforts.
- Proactively improve verification methodologies, processes, and best practices.
Required Knowledge, Skills, and Experience:
- Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
- Bachelor’s with 2+ years of relevant experience.
- Master’s with 0+ years of relevant experience.
- Significant industry experience in silicon design and/or ASIC verification.
- Strong proficiency with HDLs: Verilog and/or VHDL.
- Strong proficiency with HVLs: SystemVerilog with UVM (or OVM/AVM/Vera).
- Solid understanding of digital design principles and system architecture.
- Hands-on experience with:
- Testbench architecture and stimulus generation
- Regression execution and debug
- Coverage analysis and closure
- Ability to work effectively in a cross-disciplinary, team-oriented environment.
Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Experience:
- Experience verifying mixed-signal ASICs in complex SoC environments.
- Knowledge of signal processing concepts relevant to mixed-signal designs.
- Experience with SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA).
- Exposure to or hands-on experience with:
- Formal verification
- Hardware emulation or acceleration
- Software-driven verification
- Demonstrated ability to evaluate, debug, and improve verification flows and methodologies.
