FPGA Verification Engineer II

Job Title

FPGA Verification Engineer II

Role Summary

Member of the FPGA Business Unit in Dublin responsible for verification of next-generation secure, low-power FPGA devices. Work across verification, emulation, and prototyping teams to achieve first-silicon success.

Experience Level

Mid-level. The role requires at least 2 years of functional verification experience of complex SoC designs.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include design and execution of verification strategies and maintaining reusable verification environments.

• Plan and perform functional verification of complex subsystems and SoCs using constrained-random, formal, and C-based methods.
• Develop and maintain reusable UVM-based testbenches and verification environments.
• Execute RTL and power-aware verification flows.
• Apply AI/ML-enabled verification techniques to improve quality and productivity.
• Collaborate with emulation, hardware prototyping, architecture, and design teams.
• Debug functional issues and support root-cause analysis to achieve first-silicon success.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills, tools, and experience.

• 2+ years in functional verification of complex SoC designs.
• Proficient in SystemVerilog, UVM, and formal verification methodologies.
• Good understanding of SoC architectures such as ARM and RISC-V.
• Domain expertise in CPU subsystems and AMBA bus systems.
• Scripting and software skills: Perl, Python, TCL/TK, and C/C++ for automation and validation.
• Familiarity with Siemens/Cadence/Synopsys verification tool suites.
• 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 coverage-driven verification using ML-based optimizations.
• Exposure to complete SoC RTL verification flows.

Education Requirements

Degree or Master's in Electrical or Electronic Engineering.
