ASIC Design Verification Engineer I
Role Summary
Entry-level ASIC design verification engineer on the Silicon One hardware platform team. Responsible for verifying ASIC blocks and clusters in simulation, emulation, and during ASIC bring-up to ensure correct function and integration.
Work closely with verification engineers, RTL designers, hardware and cross-functional teams to maintain and enhance DV environments and drive module verification to closure.
Experience Level
Entry-level. Hiring target includes candidates who have completed a Bachelor's degree within the past 3 years or expect to complete one within the next 12 months.
Responsibilities
Day-to-day verification and environment development tasks.
- Maintain and enhance existing design verification (DV) environments.
- Construct test benches including scoreboards, agents, sequencers, and monitors for new blocks.
- Write test plans, develop test cases, run regressions, debug failures, and drive module verification to closure.
- Implement and review functional and code coverage to ensure complete verification coverage.
- Verify designs in simulation and emulation, and support ASIC bring-up and system integration.
- Collaborate with designers, hardware engineers, and cross-functional teams to resolve issues.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and experience.
- Experience with SystemVerilog and UVM methodology for verification.
- Scripting experience in Perl and/or Python.
- Hands-on experience in ASIC design verification or closely related verification work.
- Ability to build and debug DV testbenches and regressions.
Preferred:
- Experience with functional coverage and constrained-random DV environments.
- Experience verifying complex blocks, clusters, or top-level SoC integration.
- Familiarity with emulation platforms such as Veloce or HAPS.
- Effective verbal and written communication skills.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree (completed within the past 3 years or expected within the next 12 months) in ASIC Design, ASIC Engineering, Design Verification, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
