Digital Verification Engineer (New Grad)

Job Title

Digital Verification Engineer (New Grad)

Role Summary

Entry-level verification engineer responsible for functional verification of digital and mixed-signal ASICs using industry-standard tools and flows. Works with digital and analog designers to develop verification environments, tests, and models for power-management and mixed-signal products.

Experience Level

Entry-level / New graduate.

Responsibilities

Implement and execute verification activities across digital and mixed-signal IC projects.

• Generate test plans from design requirements and datasheets.
• Collaborate with senior digital and analog designers to develop system-level and behavioral models.
• Create verification environments using SystemVerilog and UVM.
• Write testcases, assertions, and checkers for digital and mixed-signal verification.
• Analyze and debug simulation results, code coverage, and functional coverage.
• Document test plans and participate in design/test reviews.
• Develop verification IP, standard tests, environments, and checkers.
• Perform automation and scripting to support verification flows.
• Perform gate-level verification and use standard ASIC tools (simulators, synthesis, DFT, LEC, STA).
• Communicate clearly and collaborate effectively within cross-functional teams.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and abilities for day-to-day verification work.

• Basic knowledge of ASIC development process and digital design techniques.
• Proficient in SystemVerilog and UVM; experience with behavioral/RTL coding.
• Ability to analyze and debug test results, coverage metrics, and simulation issues.
• Experience or familiarity with verification flows and industry-standard ASIC tools (digital simulators, synthesis, DFT, LEC, STA).
• Ability to follow instructions and execute tasks to meet project milestones.
• Good written and verbal communication skills and strong teamwork.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with scripting and automation (TCL, Python, C/C++).
• Experience with embedded designs or firmware development.
• Familiarity with power-management applications and relevant protocols (I2C, I3C, SPI, USB, PMBUS).

Education Requirements

MS in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering with emphasis in Digital Design / VLSI coursework (specified). No alternative-equivalent-experience language provided.
