Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include design, verification, and test infrastructure for digital IP and top-level integration.

• Assist in writing RTL for digital logic blocks used in PCIe and related systems.
• Create and maintain testbenches using SystemVerilog.
• Run simulations, review waveforms, and identify/report issues.
• Implement automated test cases and build/maintain regression benches.
• Participate in verification activities such as functional testing and basic protocol checks.
• Support preparation of documentation, micro-architecture details, and design reviews.
• Use debug tools, assertions, and protocol analysis methods under guidance.
• Collaborate with design, firmware, and physical design teams to ensure system integration.

Requirements

Must-have and helpful skills for this position.

• Must-have: Fluency in C, C++, and Python; basic working knowledge of Verilog, SystemVerilog, or VHDL; solid understanding of object-oriented programming concepts; ability to work independently and in teams; effective communication skills.
• Nice-to-have: Familiarity with communications standards and framing structures (e.g., Ethernet); basic knowledge of standard verification methodologies (for example UVM), test planning, and regression strategies; experience with VLSI or FPGA architecture and implementation; experience solving high-speed design challenges.

Education Requirements

Engineering degree in electronics, computer, or software engineering (e.g., Bachelor's in Electronics, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related technical field) is specified.
