ASIC Design Verification Engineer

Job Title

ASIC Design Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Remote contract role responsible for functional and performance verification of custom ASIC/SoC designs. The engineer will develop verification environments, drive verification strategies, and work with RTL designers to close functional issues and meet sign-off criteria.

Experience Level

Senior — requires extensive experience; the posting requests approximately 12 years of ASIC design verification experience.

Responsibilities

Key technical responsibilities for the verification lead:

• Develop and execute verification plans for block, subsystem, and full-chip environments.
• Design and implement SystemVerilog/UVM test benches: agents, monitors, scoreboards, checkers, and coverage models.
• Write SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) and incorporate formal verification where appropriate.
• Drive constrained-random and directed testing strategies and implement coverage-driven verification for sign-off.
• Run simulations, triage failures, and collaborate with RTL designers to debug and resolve issues.
• Manage regression testing, CI pipelines, and simulation farms to ensure continuous integration and repeatable regressions.
• Participate in design reviews and microarchitecture discussions to provide verification feedback.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; concise list of required and helpful qualifications.

• Minimum ~12 years of ASIC design verification experience (as stated in the posting).
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM for testbench development.
• Experience writing SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) and using assertion-based verification.
• Strong understanding of RTL design flows and industry-standard interfaces (APB, AHB, AXI).
• Deep experience with constrained-random and directed testing, coverage closure, and sign-off criteria.
• Strong simulation and debugging skills; experience triaging failures and collaborating with RTL teams.
• Experience managing CI/regression pipelines and simulation farm infrastructure.
• Familiarity with integrating formal verification into the verification flow (preferred).

Education Requirements
