Engineer II - Verification

Job Title

Engineer II - Verification

Role Summary

As a Verification Engineer in the Secure Computing Products Group, you will develop and own verification for complex blocks and subsystems in ARM-based SoCs. You will collaborate with design, architecture, and validation teams to ensure features are implemented correctly and meet quality targets.

Experience Level

Mid-level - Engineer II. Target experience: approximately 2–4 years in ASIC/SoC functional verification.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include block- and chip-level verification, test plan development, environment development, and debugging.

• Own verification of complex blocks and subsystems within ARM-based SoCs.
• Perform block- and chip-level functional verification and RTL/simulation bring-up.
• Define test plans from specifications; implement constrained-random and directed tests; drive coverage closure.
• Develop test environments using SystemVerilog and UVM; create test cases and run regressions.
• Generate and analyze code/functional coverage; correlate results with the test plan.
• Debug RTL and testbench issues; perform root-cause analysis and collaborate with design teams to resolve bugs.
• Contribute to AI/automation initiatives for regression management, coverage tracking, and debug automation.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers; improve verification methodology, reuse, and efficiency.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; nice-to-have items noted separately.

• Must-have: Strong expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM methodology.
• Hands-on experience developing block/subsystem/SoC-level verification environments.
• Solid understanding of AMBA, USB, I2C, SPI, and eSPI protocols.
• Strong knowledge of digital design, RTL fundamentals, and simulation/debug flows.
• Familiarity with scripting for automation (Python, Tcl, Perl).
• Good programming skills in C or C++.
• Experience with Cadence, Synopsys, or Mentor verification platforms.
• Excellent communication, teamwork, analytical and debugging skills; ability to lead cross-site teams.
• Nice-to-have: Exposure to AI/ML-based verification, emulation, or acceleration.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or a related field is expected; the posting specifies approximately 2–4 years of ASIC/SoC functional verification experience. Equivalent practical experience may be considered.
