Design Verification Engineer

Job Title

Design Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Join the RADAR product line verification team to validate IP, subsystem, and SoC designs used in automotive and industrial RADAR systems. The role owns verification activities from specification through post-silicon closure and works with architecture, RTL, firmware, and system teams to deliver production-quality silicon.

Experience Level

Mid-level. The posting requests approximately 2–5 years of design verification (DV) experience.

Responsibilities

The engineer is responsible for planning and executing verification for IP, subsystem, and SoC blocks and driving DV signoff.

• Own DV for IP/Subsystem/SoC from specification to post-silicon verification and customer issue resolution.
• Participate in architecture/spec definition and define verification strategy and plans with traceability to requirements and signoff metrics.
• Develop and run functional and firmware verification in RTL/PARTL and GLS/PAGLS modes.
• Develop and maintain testbenches, checkers, coverage monitors, and DV flow updates.
• Collaborate with architecture, RTL, PD, DFT, systems, analog, firmware and application teams to meet verification goals.
• Perform final SoC DV signoff based on regressions, coverage metrics, and DV-to-spec traceability, following ISO26262 guidelines.

Requirements

Key skills and experience required or strongly preferred for the role.

• Must-have: 2–5 years of DV experience in IP/Subsystem/SoC or post-silicon verification; strong knowledge of UVM/SystemVerilog and RTL verification methodologies.
• Must-have: Experience with C-based SoC design verification and firmware verification exposure; scripting skills (Perl, Python) and DV flow ownership.
• Must-have: Practical knowledge of standard protocols (AXI, AHB, APB, CAN, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, UART) and experience debugging Verilog/VHDL designs.
• Must-have: Experience with EDA tools or flows (for example Cadence Xcelium, vManager, formal tools, safety simulators) or equivalent tools.
• Preferred / Nice-to-have: AMS, CDC, formal verification, post-silicon verification experience, familiarity with functional safety and cybersecurity processes, and experience with ARM/DSP multi-processor and power-aware simulations.
• Effective communication and problem-solving skills; ability to work across multiple engineering disciplines.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics & Communication, Computer Science or related technical field (as stated in the posting).
