Senior FPGA Design Verification Engineer

Intuitive•Sunnyvale, CA

About The Position

This role focuses on the verification of FPGAs used in daVinci systems to ensure RTL functional correctness. The process spans from test planning to verification closure, utilizing coverage metrics. The engineer will be responsible for hands-on testbench development using UVM and will collaborate closely with the design team. This includes reviewing specifications and architecture, extracting features, defining the verification plan, and implementing coverage models. Key activities involve writing constrained random stimulus, implementing functional cover groups, debugging failures, tracking bugs, and analyzing coverage.

Requirements

Advanced knowledge of HVL methodology (UVM)
Expertise in HVL and HDL (SystemVerilog, Verilog)
Experience defining coverage space and writing coverage models
Team player with excellent communication skills and the desire to take on diverse challenges
Experience writing scripts in languages such as Perl/Python
Solid verification skills in problem solving, constrained random testing, and debugging

Nice To Haves

Experience with Emulation/FPGA prototyping and Formal is a plus
Experience with ML-assisted flows, and agentic-AI automation frameworks to accelerate coverage closure, improve debug efficiency, and enhance overall verification throughput
