ASIC Design Verification Engineer

Job Title

ASIC Design Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Develop and maintain Verification IP (VIP) for industry-standard protocols using SystemVerilog and UVM. Work with R&D, Design IP teams, and field teams to deliver reusable, scalable verification solutions and support customer integrations.

Experience Level

Entry-level / Early-career — expects approximately 2+ years of hands-on verification IP or SystemVerilog/UVM experience.

Responsibilities

The role focuses on building coverage-driven VIP, debugging integrations, and improving product quality and scalability.

• Design, develop, and maintain Verification IP using SystemVerilog and UVM for protocols such as AMBA, Flash, I2C, I3C, DFI, and DRAM.
• Create verification plans that map protocol specifications to testable scenarios and coverage goals.
• Implement sequences, test scenarios, and checkers to drive functional and code coverage.
• Debug complex simulation failures across protocol layers and customer integration environments.
• Improve VIP performance, reusability, and scalability as protocols and use cases evolve.
• Support customers and field teams during VIP integration and deployment.
• Collaborate with design, IP, and product teams to align VIP capabilities with roadmaps and customer needs.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; some items are nice-to-have and are noted.

• 2+ years of hands-on experience developing Verification IP or SystemVerilog/UVM-based testbenches.
• Deep working knowledge of at least two protocols such as AMBA (AXI, AHB, APB), Flash, I2C, I3C, DFI, or DRAM.
• Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM methodology for building reusable, scalable verification environments.
• Ability to create and execute coverage-driven verification plans, including functional and code coverage analysis.
• Proven experience debugging complex simulation failures and resolving issues across protocol layers and integration boundaries.
• Experience working directly with customers or field teams during product deployment — nice-to-have.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.
