ASIC Design Verification Engineer II
Cisco SystemsJob Title
ASIC Design Verification Engineer II
Role Summary
Work on Silicon One ASIC verification within Cisco's silicon and hardware platforms team. Collaborate with verification engineers, designers, hardware and cross-functional teams to verify ASICs in simulation, emulation, and during bring-up.
Primary mission: develop and maintain DV environments and testbenches to ensure functional correctness and verification closure for ASIC blocks and SoCs.
Experience Level
Mid-level (Engineer II). Typical candidates have around 2+ years of relevant ASIC verification experience; a Master's with no prior experience is also an acceptable qualification (see Education Requirements).
Responsibilities
Verify ASIC blocks and clusters through simulation, emulation, and bring-up; maintain and extend verification environments.
- Maintain and enhance existing DV environments and regression suites.
- Construct testbenches: 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 meet verification goals.
- Collaborate with designers, hardware and cross-functional teams during integration and ASIC bring-up.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and practical verification experience. Preferred items listed as "nice-to-have."
- Proficiency with SystemVerilog and UVM methodology.
- Scripting experience in Perl and/or Python.
- Experience with functional coverage and constrained-random verification.
- Experience verifying complex blocks, clusters, or top-level SoC designs.
- Ability to debug regression failures and drive verification to closure.
- Effective verbal and written communication skills.
- Nice-to-have: experience with emulation platforms (Veloce, HAPS) and building DV environments from scratch.
Education Requirements
Either a Masters degree (completed within the past 3 years or expected within 12 months) with 0 years of work experience, or a Bachelors degree with about 2 years of work experience. Qualifying education and work experience should be in ASIC engineering, verification, or a related technical field.
