ASIC Verification Engineer - New College Grad 2027
Role Summary
Entry-level ASIC verification engineer responsible for pre-silicon RTL verification to ensure correct hardware functionality. Work within a verification team to develop testbenches, create tests, run simulations, and debug failures before tape-out.
Experience Level
Entry-level.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include:
- Develop and maintain UVM-based testbenches and verification environments.
- Write directed and constrained-random tests in SystemVerilog to verify reference C++ models and RTL.
- Run RTL simulations, analyze failures, and perform root-cause debug of RTL and testbench issues.
- Automate verification flows and integrate tests into CI systems.
- Collaborate with architects, RTL designers, and software engineers to close verification gaps.
Requirements
Must-have skills and experience:
- Strong programming experience in C++ and/or SystemVerilog and solid understanding of object-oriented concepts.
- Familiarity with HDL verification methodologies (UVM) and practical test development.
- Basic understanding of CPU or SoC architecture and hardware/software interactions.
- Demonstrated analytical problem-solving and debugging skills for RTL simulation failures.
Nice-to-have:
- Internship or lab experience with GPU or processor verification, validation, or hardware debug.
- Experience writing test plans, directed and random testing, and diagnostics.
- Experience or interest in automating verification flows using scripting or AI-based tools.
Education Requirements
Pursuing or recently completed a BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field - or equivalent practical experience. Relevant coursework or internship exposure includes computer architecture, logic design, and HDL languages (e.g., Verilog, VHDL).
