ASIC Design Verification Engineer

Job Title

ASIC Design Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Join a verification team delivering high-throughput Ethernet silicon targeting cloud and AI/ML acceleration workloads. The role focuses on functional verification of ASIC designs using constrained-random methodologies and industry-standard verification flows.

The engineer will work with global design and architecture teams across all aspects of design verification and has opportunities for technical leadership and mentorship.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Experience guidance provided by employer: Bachelor's +12 years, Master's +10 years, or PhD +3 years of related experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include verification planning, environment development, and delivery of coverage-closed designs.

• Develop and maintain constrained-random verification environments and UVM testbenches.
• Drive coverage closure and manage verification closure criteria.
• Create and maintain assertions, sequences, and verification IP.
• Run simulations, debug failures, and triage RTL/verification issues using simulators and scripting.
• Collaborate with architecture and design teams to validate functionality and performance targets.
• Provide technical leadership, design reviews, and mentorship within the verification team.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and attributes are listed below; education details are summarized separately under Education Requirements.

• Proven experience with constrained-random verification and coverage-driven methodologies.
• Strong SystemVerilog testbench skills, including UVM and verification class structures; SVA familiarity.
• Experience with simulators such as VCS and Incisive.
• Proficient scripting skills for automation and regression (Python, Perl, or similar).
• Good OOP practices applied to verification environments and testbench code.
• Strong debugging skills and ability to close issues across simulation, assertions, and RTL.
• Effective communicator and team player who works with distributed cross-functional teams.
• Nice-to-have: experience with Ethernet/high-throughput protocols, verification IP, emulation, or power/performance validation.

Education Requirements

Employer specifies degree-plus-experience combinations: Bachelor's degree with 12+ years of related experience; Master's degree with 10+ years; or PhD with 3+ years. No specific field-of-study or certifications are listed in the posting.
