About The Position

The Digital Verification Engineer will collaborate with architecture, systems, and design teams to understand product requirements and develop verification plans to meet project specifications. This role is responsible for functional simulations, design debugs, and developing functional (digital) verification plans, test cases, Verification IP, and test bench components. The engineer will also understand development boards and lab equipment to perform digital silicon validation, and develop infrastructure and test cases targeted for an IP, sub-system, or SoC level. Responsibilities include creating and executing test plans for design functions, designing, implementing, and improving UVM test benches, running coverage and regression, analyzing coverage gaps, and devising strategies to achieve higher code coverage. Additionally, the role involves debugging silicon, developing scripts and automation to enhance coverage reports, refining test cases and simulation models, and collaborating with different functional groups to support successful product release.
