Design Verification Engineer

Job Title

Design Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Lead/Principal-level ASIC design verification engineer responsible for driving verification strategy for next-generation SoC silicon. The role covers block- and system-level verification, verification methodology architecture, and building scalable object-oriented verification environments.

Works closely with cross-functional design and verification teams to define coverage goals, resolve architectural trade-offs, and deliver high-quality silicon on advanced process nodes.

Experience Level

Senior — Lead/Principal level. 12+ years of relevant ASIC design verification experience preferred.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include ownership of verification strategy and execution across blocks and system integration:

• Lead end-to-end verification planning and execution at block and system levels.
• Define, deploy, and improve verification methodologies and ASIC verification flows.
• Develop robust, scalable, object-oriented verification environments and testbenches.
• Independently debug complex design and verification problems; perform root-cause analysis.
• Coordinate with design teams on coverage, timelines, and architectural trade-offs.

Requirements

Key skills and experience required or strongly preferred. Education requirements are listed separately below.

• Must-have: Extensive ASIC design verification experience (senior/lead level); deep experience with RTL verification methodologies and SystemVerilog.
• Must-have: Strong practical experience with UVM, object-oriented verification, and building test environments.
• Must-have: Proficiency in C/C++ and scripting languages such as Perl, Python, or Tcl.
• Must-have: Proven ability to debug complex hardware/verification issues and communicate findings clearly to engineering teams.
• Must-have: Legal authorization to work in the United States.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with advanced process nodes (e.g., 5nm and below), SystemC, hardware emulation (Palladium, Zebu) or FPGA-based prototyping.
• Nice-to-have: Familiarity with EDA tools and full front-to-back silicon development lifecycle.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
