Hardware Verification Engineer

Job Title

Hardware Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Responsible for block- and IP-level verification of configurable interconnect, memory subsystem, and coherency IP used in SoC and multi‑chiplet designs. Work closely with design and software teams to develop verification plans, implement UVM/SystemVerilog testbenches, and drive coverage and debug to closure.

Experience Level

Senior — 8+ years of hands-on verification experience at block/IP/SoC level.

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• Create and maintain verification plans for highly configurable IPs used in SoC and chiplet systems.
• Implement UVM/SystemVerilog testbenches, test sequences, checkers, and scoreboards.
• Integrate software-driven test scenarios and collaborate with software teams on configurable testbenches.
• Collaborate with RTL designers to debug failures, drive root-cause analysis, and close functional and code coverage.
• Develop and maintain verification infrastructure, scripts, and automation (e.g., Python).
• Use simulation, emulation, and formal tools as needed to validate complex protocols and corner cases.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience:

• 8+ years of hands-on block/IP/SoC verification experience (experience level noted above).
• Proficiency in Verilog and SystemVerilog and deep experience building UVM-based testbenches.
• Familiarity with industry-standard EDA simulators and debug flows.
• Experience with Python or similar scripting languages for verification automation.
• Knowledge of Arm AMBA protocols (AXI, APB, AHB) and experience with interconnects, caches, cache coherency, memory subsystems, or NoC IP.
• Strong problem-solving, debugging, and communication skills; experience working cross-functionally with design and software teams.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with Arm CHI protocol.
• Experience with formal verification techniques and emulation platforms.

Education Requirements

BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science (listed in source).
