Digital Verification Engineer

Job Title

Digital Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Join the R&D verification team in Milan to plan, develop and execute digital verification for complex mixed-signal ICs used in automotive and industrial applications. Work cross-functionally with design, system, architecture and validation teams to ensure high-quality silicon delivery.

Experience Level

Mid-level — 3 to 5 years of experience in digital verification of ASIC or SoC designs.

Responsibilities

Accountable for the verification flow from IP to SoC level and for driving verification quality and automation.

• Develop and execute verification plans for digital IPs, subsystems and SoC-level designs.
• Create and maintain UVM/SystemVerilog-based verification environments and reusable components.
• Implement constrained-random tests, sequences, scoreboards and coverage models.
• Run simulation and regression suites; analyze results and identify root causes.
• Define and monitor functional and code coverage metrics; drive issue resolution with design teams.
• Contribute to verification methodology improvements and automation initiatives.
• Support mixed-signal verification activities with analog and AMS teams and participate in design reviews.
• Contribute to meeting project quality, schedule and automotive requirements.

Requirements

Must-have:

• 3 to 5 years of digital verification experience on ASIC or SoC projects.
• Strong SystemVerilog and UVM knowledge.
• Experience with constrained-random verification, functional coverage and assertions.
• Familiarity with regression management and industry-standard EDA verification tools.
• Good understanding of digital design fundamentals and RTL concepts.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.
• Fluent English, written and spoken.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience in automotive semiconductor development.
• Knowledge of low-power verification methodologies.
• Familiarity with mixed-signal IC development flows and formal verification techniques.
• Scripting experience (Python, Perl or Tcl).
• Knowledge of automotive communication protocols (SPI, I2C, CAN, UART).

Education Requirements

Master's degree in Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering or a related field.
