ASIC Engineer, Design Verification

Job Title

ASIC Engineer, Design Verification

Role Summary

Join Meta's Infrastructure organization to verify IP and SoC designs for data-center applications. The role focuses on creating verification plans, building UVM-based testbenches, and driving verification closure using simulation, formal, and emulation techniques.

This position partners with design, emulation, software, and post-silicon teams to achieve first-pass silicon success for data-center ASICs.

Experience Level

Entry-level — requires approximately 2+ years of relevant design verification experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include planning and executing verification activities for IP, sub-systems, or SoC blocks.

• Define and implement IP/SoC verification plans and metrics.
• Design and build UVM-based verification testbenches and functional tests.
• Drive verification to closure using test plans, functional and code coverage targets.
• Debug and root-cause functional failures in collaboration with design teams.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Design, Model, Emulation, Silicon validation) to ensure design quality.
• Improve verification flows and infrastructure using current methodologies and tools.

Requirements

Key must-have technical skills and experience; preferred items are listed as nice-to-have.

• Must-have: 2+ years of hands-on experience with SystemVerilog/UVM and/or C/C++ based verification.
• Must-have: Experience with SystemVerilog Assertions, Formal methods, and/or Emulation as applied to verification.
• Must-have: Experience using EDA/verification tools and scripting (Python, TCL, Perl, Shell) to build verification flows and tools.
• Must-have: Experience architecting and implementing verification infrastructure and executing full verification cycles.
• Nice-to-have: IP/sub-system/SoC level verification experience and building UVM environments from scratch.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with ASIC development lifecycles, ARM or RISC-V sub-systems, and data-center application domains (video, AI/ML, networking).
• Nice-to-have: Verification experience with high-speed interfaces (AMBA, PCIe, DDR, Ethernet) and familiarity with revision control systems (Mercurial, Git, SVN).

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a relevant technical field; or equivalent practical experience.
