ASIC Verification Engineer

Job Title

ASIC Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Design and execute verification for ASIC/VLSI components and subsystems as part of HPE's hardware engineering team. The role focuses on verification planning, developing SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches, simulation and debug, and coordinating with RTL designers, architects, firmware and validation teams.

Position is hybrid with an expectation of about two days per week in an HPE office (Durham, NC).

Experience Level

Mid-level — typically requires 3+ years of VLSI/ASIC verification experience.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include planning and executing verification activities and communicating results to stakeholders.

• Develop verification plans, testbenches and UVM components for ASIC/IP blocks.
• Create and run simulations, analyze failures, and perform root-cause debug of RTL and integration issues.
• Collaborate with architects, RTL designers, firmware, validation and outsourced partners to deliver reliable designs.
• Drive verification across project phases and represent the verification team in cross-functional reviews.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to less-experienced engineers.
• Document verification results, coverage, and readiness metrics; report status to management.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience.

• 3+ years of practical experience in VLSI/ASIC verification using SystemVerilog and UVM.
• Proven experience verifying and debugging digital ASIC components and subsystems.
• Strong knowledge of digital logic, VLSI principles and computer architecture.
• Experience with scripting and programming for verification (e.g., Python, Perl, Tcl) and familiarity with HDL and EDA tool flows.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills; ability to present technical status to management and partners.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and mentor junior engineers.

Nice-to-have: coverage-driven verification, formal methods, emulation/FPGA bring-up, and experience with major EDA vendors and FPGA tools.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or equivalent; coursework in VLSI design or related topics. Equivalent practical experience is acceptable.
