ASIC Design Verification Engineer

Job Title

ASIC Design Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Plan, build, and execute verification for AMD wired networking IP, working across architects, hardware, firmware, and software teams to deliver a bug-free final design. The role focuses on creating test plans, implementing directed and random tests, and driving defect resolution in a hybrid, cross-site environment.

Experience Level

Mid-level (no specific years-of-experience stated).

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include functional verification of IP, test development, and cross-team integration to ensure product quality and delivery.

• Plan and execute verification activities for wired networking IP at the IP/ASIC level.
• Collaborate with architects, hardware, firmware, and software teams to define verification scope and requirements.
• Create test plans that consider hardware, firmware, and software driver interactions.
• Estimate verification effort for new features and environment changes.
• Develop directed and random tests and UVM-based testbenches.
• Debug test failures and coordinate with RTL and firmware teams to resolve defects.
• Review functional and code coverage and adjust tests or constraints to meet coverage goals.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience for successful performance in this role; a few preferred items are listed separately.

• Must-have: Proven IP-level ASIC verification experience and debugging RTL using simulation tools.
• Expertise in UVM concepts, SystemVerilog, and developing UVM-based verification frameworks.
• Proficiency with UVM testbenches and experience working in Linux and Windows environments.
• Scripting experience: Perl, Python, Makefile, shell scripting.
• Experience with automation in distributed compute environments.
• Ability to write test plans, estimate effort, and drive cross-functional defect resolution.
• Nice-to-have: Knowledge of networking protocols (Ethernet, UAL, LLR, CBFC) and experience with AI tools.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in a related field (as stated in the source).
