ASIC Design Verification Engineer - Slingshot

Job Title

ASIC Design Verification Engineer - Slingshot

Role Summary

Work on HPE Slingshot interconnect ASICs as a design verification engineer responsible for block-level pre-silicon verification of switch and NIC ASICs. Collaborate with architects, logic designers, and verification engineers to deliver verification plans, testbenches, coverage closure, and sign-off.

Experience Level

Mid-level - typically requires 5+ years of VLSI design, verification, or implementation experience.

Responsibilities

Accountable for the full pre-silicon verification lifecycle and for improving verification processes and automation.

• Develop SystemVerilog/UVM testbench components and bus functional models that drive and monitor stimulus.
• Plan and execute block-level test plans, implement scoreboards and checkers, and drive coverage closure.
• Write and analyze functional coverage to identify verification gaps and achieve sign-off.
• Triage regression failures, identify logic bugs, and drive bug closure with designers.
• Apply scripting, automation, and agentic AI tools to improve verification speed and quality.
• Communicate verification status with architects, designers, and project leads; work within distributed teams and with external partners.
• Provide guidance and mentoring to less experienced engineers.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and practical experience.

• 5+ years of experience in VLSI design, verification, or implementation.
• Strong knowledge of SystemVerilog and OVM or UVM methodologies.
• Experience with hardware description languages, EDA tools, and verification environments.
• Proficiency in scripting or programming (Python, Perl, Tcl, or similar) in Linux development environments.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; ability to work independently in a distributed team.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.
• Preferred: experience verifying high-speed networking, switching, or NIC ASICs and using agentic AI coding tools and workflows applied to verification.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.
