ASIC Verification Engineer

Job Title

ASIC Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Join HPE Networking Silicon as an ASIC Verification Engineer focused on block- and subsystem-level verification for high-speed networking SoCs. The team develops verification environments and test plans to validate complex datapath, control, and interface logic for routers and switches.

This is a hybrid role based in Durham, NC with an expectation of approximately 2 days per week in the office.

Experience Level

Mid-level - requires approximately 4+ years of ASIC/SoC verification experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include planning, implementing, and executing verification for ASIC blocks and subsystems.

• Own block- or subsystem-level verification from test plan through coverage closure.
• Design, develop, and maintain UVM/SystemVerilog verification environments (agents, sequences, scoreboards, register models, virtual sequences).
• Create and run constraint-random tests; implement functional coverage and assertions (SVA).
• Analyze simulation results using industry-standard simulators and debug waveforms to validate functionality.
• Collaborate with RTL, architecture, and bring-up teams to identify and resolve issues.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and relevant experience, plus preferred qualifications.

• Must-have: 4+ years of ASIC/SoC verification experience, proven ownership from test plan to coverage closure.
• Must-have: Strong SystemVerilog and UVM expertise, including building environments from scratch.
• Must-have: Deep knowledge of randomization, constraints, functional coverage, and assertion-based verification (SVA).
• Must-have: Experience with test planning, coverage analysis, and debugging complex SoC designs.
• Must-have: Hands-on experience with simulation tools (Cadence Xcelium, Synopsys VCS, Mentor Questa) and waveform debugging.
• Nice-to-have: Experience verifying networking ASICs (packet processing, forwarding engines, fabric interfaces) or high-speed interconnects.
• Nice-to-have: Exposure to emulation, hardware acceleration, traffic-model integration, post-silicon bring-up, or formal/low-power methodologies (UPF).
• Nice-to-have: Familiarity with coverage analytics, regression dashboards, and CI flows (e.g., Jenkins).
• Additional note: U.S. citizenship preferred for this role.

Education Requirements

Not specified.
