About The Position

We are seeking a Verification Engineer to join our silicon development team, responsible for ensuring the functional correctness and quality of complex ASIC/SoC designs. This role is critical in validating next-generation chips used in high-performance computing, AI/ML, networking, or consumer electronics. You will work closely with design, architecture, and validation teams to develop robust verification environments and drive coverage closure.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 3–10+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC verification
• Strong expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM methodology
• Experience with RTL design concepts (Verilog/VHDL)
• Solid debugging skills in simulation environments
• Experience with EDA tools (e.g., Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium, Mentor Questa)
• Understanding of functional coverage and verification metrics

Nice To Haves

• Experience with formal verification tools
• Knowledge of protocols (PCIe, Ethernet, AXI, DDR, USB, etc.)
• Scripting skills in Python, Perl, or Tcl
• Experience with emulation or FPGA prototyping
• Exposure to low-power verification (UPF/CPF)
• Background in AI/ML accelerators or GPU architectures

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute verification plans for ASIC/SoC components and subsystems
• Build and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM-based testbenches
• Create directed and constrained-random tests to validate design functionality
• Debug and root-cause RTL issues in collaboration with design engineers
• Drive functional coverage and ensure verification completeness
• Perform regression testing and analyze results for failures and gaps
• Develop and use assertions (SVA) for design verification
• Contribute to verification methodology improvements and automation
• Support post-silicon validation teams with test scenarios and debug insights
