Associate Design Verification Engineer

Job Title

Associate Design Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Contribute to verification of digital, analog, and mixed-signal integrated circuits prior to tape-out. Work with experienced engineers to develop testbenches, execute verification plans, analyze simulation results, and support coverage-driven verification activities.

This role provides hands-on experience with modern verification methodologies, industry-standard tools, and cross-functional collaboration in semiconductor product development.

Experience Level

Entry-level (Associate). Typical experience: 0–2 years; new graduates with relevant projects or internships encouraged.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include executing verification tasks across digital and mixed-signal designs.

• Develop and execute SystemVerilog testbenches for digital and mixed-signal verification.
• Create and maintain verification environments for functional and coverage-driven verification.
• Develop directed and constrained-random test cases to validate functionality and performance.
• Perform code and functional coverage analysis to assess verification completeness.
• Debug simulation failures, analyze results, and identify potential design issues.
• Collaborate with design engineers to verify implementation against requirements.
• Support verification planning, documentation, and design reviews.
• Automate verification workflows using scripting to improve efficiency.
• Contribute to mixed-signal verification activities, including simulation and behavioral modeling as needed.
• Travel as required for the role (approximately 10%).

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and behaviors for immediate contributors.

• SystemVerilog and digital verification concepts, including testbench development and simulation-based verification.
• Verilog RTL fundamentals and the ability to analyze digital hardware designs.
• Familiarity with coverage-driven verification concepts and structured verification practices.
• Scripting experience (Python, Perl, or Tcl) for automation and productivity improvements.
• Understanding of standard digital interfaces/protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, or similar).
• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills for simulation and verification failures.
• Effective written and verbal communication and ability to work in a team.

Nice-to-have:

• Exposure to UVM, SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA), constrained-random verification.
• Familiarity with EDA simulation and debugging tools, mixed-signal simulation, or analog behavioral modeling.
• Object-oriented programming concepts.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field is preferred; new graduates with relevant academic projects or internships are encouraged. Equivalent practical experience is acceptable where noted.
