FPGA Verification Engineer II
MicrochipJob Title
FPGA Verification Engineer II
Role Summary
Responsible for verification of next-generation secure, low-power FPGA SoC subsystems and peripherals on the FPGA Business Unit team in Dublin, Ireland.
Work focuses on creating reusable UVM testbenches, RTL and power-aware verification, and collaboration with architecture, emulation, and prototyping teams to enable first-silicon success.
Experience Level
Mid-level — requires a minimum of 2 years of functional verification experience.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include:
- Develop and maintain reusable UVM-based testbenches and verification environments.
- Perform functional, power-aware, and formal verification of complex SoC subsystems.
- Apply constrained-random, formal, and C-based verification methodologies.
- Integrate AI/ML-enabled techniques to improve coverage and verification productivity.
- Collaborate with emulation, hardware prototyping, architecture and design teams.
- Debug verification failures and contribute to first-silicon bring-up.
Requirements
Required skills and experience:
- 2+ years in functional verification of complex SoC designs.
- Strong SystemVerilog, UVM, and formal verification experience.
- Good understanding of SoC architectures (ARM or RISC-V); experience with CPU subsystems and AMBA bus systems.
- Scripting and software: Perl, Python, Tcl/Tk, and C/C++ for automation and validation.
- Familiarity with verification toolchains from Siemens, Cadence, or Synopsys.
- Experience with revision control systems (Git, Perforce, SVN) and strong debug skills.
- Proven ability to work with global cross-functional teams; strong communication and collaboration skills.
- Willingness to travel up to 25%.
Nice-to-have: experience with ML-based coverage optimizations and end-to-end SoC RTL verification.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical or Electronic Engineering.
