Digital Verification Engineer

Job Title

Digital Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Work on functional verification and silicon validation of digital IP, subsystems, and SoCs. Collaborate with architecture, systems and design teams to translate product requirements into verification plans, test benches, and silicon debug activities.

Experience Level

Mid-level. Years of experience not specified.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include verification planning, test development, execution, and debugging through bring-up and product release.

• Develop verification plans and test strategies for IP, subsystem, and SoC levels.
• Design, implement, and maintain UVM test benches, VIP, and testbench components.
• Create and run functional simulations, regressions, and coverage analysis; identify and close coverage gaps.
• Debug RTL and silicon failures; develop scripts and automation to support debug and reporting.
• Develop and refine test cases and simulation models based on design changes and silicon behavior.
• Use development boards and lab equipment to perform digital silicon validation and bring-up.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to resolve issues and support successful product release.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and practical experience.

• Knowledge of computer architecture, digital integrated circuit design, and microprocessor system design.
• Proficiency in Verilog and SystemVerilog.
• Experience with UVM testbenches and formal verification methods.
• Programing skills in Python or C/C++ for testbench automation and scripting.
• Familiarity with cache concepts and AHB protocol.
• Experience with simulation, coverage-driven verification, regression management, and debug workflows.
• Practical experience using lab equipment and evaluation/development boards for silicon validation.

Education Requirements

Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering or a related field (or foreign equivalent). The posting also references graduate-level coursework or equivalent practical experience in relevant topics.
