ASIC Verification Engineer — SystemVerilog/UVM for SoC

Job Title

ASIC Verification Engineer — SystemVerilog/UVM for SoC

Role Summary

The ASIC Verification Engineer will verify functionality and performance of custom silicon and SoC designs. The role focuses on developing verification plans, building SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches, executing coverage-driven verification, and delivering validated silicon.

The engineer will work on a small cross-functional team and collaborate closely with RTL designers, firmware, physical design, and system engineers during development and bring-up.

Experience Level

Mid-level. Minimum of 3 years of ASIC/SoC verification experience is expected.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Define and implement verification plans and test strategies for IP and SoC designs.
• Develop SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches, verification components, and directed/constrained-random tests.
• Create and maintain assertions (SVA), functional coverage models, and checkers.
• Run simulations and regressions, perform coverage analysis, and close coverage gaps.
• Debug RTL and testbench failures using waveform analysis and logs; perform root-cause analysis and track issues.
• Collaborate with RTL, firmware, integration, and validation teams during bring-up and silicon validation.
• Automate verification flows and regressions using scripting and CI tools.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience:

• Proven experience with SystemVerilog and UVM for verification at IP and/or SoC level.
• Experience with commercial simulation and verification tools and coverage-driven methodologies.
• Strong assertion-based verification and functional coverage experience.
• Solid RTL debug skills and experience diagnosing design and environment issues.
• Proficiency with scripting for automation (Python, Tcl, Perl, or similar) and familiarity with version control.
• Effective communication skills and the ability to work cross-functionally.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with emulation, FPGA prototyping, or post-silicon validation.
• Experience with SoC integration, hardware bring-up, low-power verification, or formal techniques.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience. (Source specifies B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering or related fields.)
