ASIC Design Verification Engineer II
Cisco SystemsJob Title
ASIC Design Verification Engineer II
Role Summary
Work on the Silicon One ASIC verification team to verify data-center ASICs in simulation, emulation, and during bring-up. Collaborate with verification engineers, designers, hardware teams, and other cross-functional partners to deliver verified modules and SoC-level integrations.
Experience Level
Mid-level. Qualification examples in the posting: Master’s degree with 0 years of work experience, or Bachelor’s degree with ~2 years of relevant experience.
Responsibilities
Primary verification responsibilities and deliverables:
- Maintain and enhance existing digital verification (DV) environments.
- Develop testbenches including scoreboards, agents, sequencers, and monitors for new blocks.
- Write test plans and implement test cases; run regressions and debug failures to closure.
- Ensure verification completeness through code and functional coverage implementation and review.
- Verify designs in simulation, in emulation (e.g., Veloce/HAPS), and support ASIC bring-up activities.
- Collaborate with designers and hardware engineers to resolve functional and integration issues.
Requirements
Must-have skills and experience followed by useful additions:
- Must-have: Experience with SystemVerilog and UVM methodology.
- Must-have: Scripting experience using Perl and/or Python.
- Nice-to-have: Experience with functional coverage and constrained-random DV environments.
- Nice-to-have: Experience verifying complex blocks, clusters, and top-level SoC integrations.
- Nice-to-have: Familiarity with emulation platforms such as Veloce or HAPS.
- Nice-to-have: Experience building testbenches from scratch, including constraints, structures, and classes in SystemVerilog.
- Effective verbal and written communication skills.
Education Requirements
Posting specifies one of: a Master’s degree (with 0 years of work experience) or a Bachelor’s degree (with ~2 years of work experience). Qualifying education or equivalent work experience should be in ASIC Engineering, Verification, or a related technical field; degrees may be completed within the past 3 years or expected within the next 12 months.
