ASIC Design Verification Engineer

Job Title

ASIC Design Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Plan, build, and execute verification for AMD's wired networking IP to deliver a bug-free final design. Work in a hybrid, cross-site environment collaborating with architects, hardware, firmware, and software teams to verify new features and ensure correct integration across components.

Experience Level

Mid-level. No specific years of experience stated.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include verification planning, test development, and defect resolution:

• Plan and execute IP-level ASIC verification for wired networking blocks.
• Collaborate with architects, RTL, firmware, and software teams to define verification scope and interfaces.
• Create test plans that consider hardware, firmware, and driver interactions.
• Estimate effort for new-feature tests and test-environment changes.
• Develop directed and constrained-random verification tests.
• Debug test failures using simulation tools and coordinate fixes with RTL and firmware owners.
• Review functional and code coverage; modify tests or constraints to meet coverage goals.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and preferred additions are listed below.

• Must-have: IP-level ASIC verification experience.
• Expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM concepts; experience with UVM testbenches.
• Proven RTL debugging using simulation tools.
• Experience developing UVM-based verification frameworks, flows, and processes.
• Familiarity with Linux and Windows verification environments.
• Scripting experience: Python, Perl, shell, and Makefile skills.
• Experience with coverage-driven verification and creating test plans.
• Nice-to-have: Exposure to automation in distributed compute environments, knowledge of networking protocols (Ethernet, UAL, LLR, CBFC), and experience with AI tools.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field (as stated in the posting).
