Design Engineer II
Cadence Design SystemsJob Title
Design Engineer II
Role Summary
Responsible for RTL verification and testbench development for ASIC/SoC blocks. Works within a verification team to develop and execute verification plans, close functional coverage, and debug RTL and gate-level simulations.
We’re doing work that matters; the role contributes to delivering robust silicon designs.
Experience Level
Mid-level - 2–5 years of VLSI verification experience.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include:
- Develop UVM/OVM/eRM-based testbenches using Verilog and HVLs (SystemVerilog, Specman/e).
- Implement assertions and constraint-random tests; drive functional and code coverage to closure.
- Apply formal verification techniques where applicable.
- Develop, run, and maintain verification regressions and automation.
- Debug RTL and gate-level (with or without SDF) simulation failures and isolate root causes.
- Collaborate with RTL designers to resolve design issues and validate fixes.
- Manage project schedules and deliverables independently; document verification results.
Requirements
Key requirements and skills.
Must-have:
- Proven experience in Verilog and HVLs (SystemVerilog, Specman/e) with UVM/OVM/eRM methodologies.
- Experience in assertions development, constraint-randomization, and coverage-driven verification.
- Formal verification experience.
- Strong testbench development skills and RTL/Gate-level simulation debug capability.
- Proficiency in scripting and automation (Perl, Tcl).
- Ability to manage schedules and deliverables with minimal supervision.
Nice-to-have:
- Experience with additional verification tools, automation frameworks, or languages.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's (BE/BTech) or Master's (ME/MTech) degree in engineering (engineering degree specified). No certification requirements listed.
