ASIC Verification Engineer
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc•ONTARIO-HOME OFFICE, Ontario
•Hybrid
About The Position
This is an ASIC Verification Engineering role within the Security IP Team (SECIP). The role focuses on co-verification of embedded microprocessor subsystems and associated hardware accelerators in leading-edge SoCs. The ideal candidate will also contribute to firmware development initiatives supporting high-performance subsystems such as security policy management, cryptography, data compression, and high-throughput DMA.
Requirements
- Strong experience in ASIC firmware and hardware design and verification
- Proficiency in C, C++, Assembly, Verilog, System Verilog, and scripting languages such as Python, Perl, and Make
- Deep expertise in UVM and C-DPI methodologies
- Strong understanding of standard bus/interface protocols (AXI, AHB, AMBA)
- Experience with firmware development on commercial microprocessors and associated toolchains (compiler, assembler, debugger)
- Hands-on experience with ASIC verification tools, including simulation, linting, and power-aware verification
- Bachelor’s degree in electrical or computer engineering required
Nice To Haves
- master’s or PhD preferred
Responsibilities
- Develop and verify embedded firmware for SoC secure boot and microprocessor-driven hardware acceleration services, including cryptography, compression, and DMA
- Perform hardware/firmware co-verification using UVM System Verilog, C-DPI, and FPGA-based prototyping platforms
- Define and maintain subsystem verification architecture, testbenches, and methodologies for embedded CPU and IP subsystems using AXI/AHB interfaces
- Collaborate on subsystem specification and influence hardware and firmware co-design, including developing abstracted performance models and evaluating architecture trade-offs
- Develop and execute block- and subsystem-level test plans using UVM randomized and C-DPI directed methodologies
- Build and maintain verification infrastructure, including UVCs, system response models, integration scripts, and build/run environments
- Drive verification closure, improve coverage metrics, and debug complex hardware/firmware interactions
- Interface with SoC integration and DV teams to support IP-level APIs, SoC-level validation, emulation, silicon bring-up, and debug
