Principal SoC Design Verification Engineer HBM

Micron Technology•Folsom, CA

About The Position

Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all. Micron Technology is a world leader in innovating memory and storage solutions that accelerate the transformation of information into intelligence, inspiring the world to learn, communicate and advance faster than ever. Our vision is to transform how the world uses information to enrich life for all. Join an inclusive team passionate about one thing: using their expertise in the relentless pursuit of innovation for customers and partners. The solutions we build help make everything from virtual reality experiences to breakthroughs in neural networks possible. We do it all while committing to integrity, sustainability, and giving back to our communities. Because doing so can fuel the very innovation we are pursuing. As a SoC Design Verification Engineer in the Heterogeneous Integration Group (HIG), you will be responsible for verifying complex HBM SoC logic/base die designs from block through full‑chip level. You will work closely with the architecture, RTL design, physical design, firmware, and product teams to ensure the functional correctness, performance, and robustness of next-generation HBM products. This role emphasizes system‑level thinking, verification methodology, and ownership of functional quality, leading to first‑pass silicon success.

Requirements

Minimum 10 years of experience with a Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
Strong experience in SoC or IP‑level design verification.
Proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM, including constrained-random stimulus, assertions (SVA), and verification guided by coverage metrics.
Solid understanding of SoC architectures, including bus fabrics/NOCs, memory‑mapped interfaces, interrupts, and configuration flows.
Experience debugging complex functional issues across RTL, testbench, and system‑level interactions.
Familiarity with industry EDA tools from Cadence, Synopsys, and/or Siemens.
Experience with scripting or automation using Python, Perl, TCL, or shell.

Nice To Haves

Experience verifying HBM, DRAM, or memory‑centric SoCs.
Exposure to hardware emulation or acceleration platforms (e.g., Palladium, Veloce, Zebu).
Familiarity with DFT/MBIST concepts and their impact on verification.
Experience with power‑aware verification concepts (e.g., UPF‑based scenarios).
Knowledge of industry standards such as JEDEC.

Responsibilities

Develop and complete verification plans for SoC‑level and subsystem builds based on architectural and micro‑architectural specifications.
Develop verification components including UVM agents, scoreboards, checkers, assertions, and coverage models.
Drive functional coverage closure, ensuring thorough validation of features, corner cases, and error scenarios.
Verify complex IP integrations (e.g., controllers, microcontrollers, NOC, interfaces, MBIST/DFT logic, RAS, adapters, buffers).
Collaborate with RTL designers to debug and resolve functional issues efficiently in simulation and emulation.
Participate in SoC‑level integration verification, including reset, clocking, power management, configuration, and coherency scenarios.
Leverage hardware emulation/acceleration platforms to enable scalable verification and early firmware bring‑up.
Support post‑silicon validation and debug, correlating silicon issues with pre‑silicon verification results.
