IC Verification Engineer

Job Title

IC Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Join the verification team responsible for functional verification of blocks, cores and SoCs. The role focuses on writing scalable testbenches, developing pseudo-random tests, closing functional coverage gaps, and documenting verification strategy.

Experience Level

Mid-level. The posting specifies experience-equivalent hiring: typically 3–5+ years of verification experience (see Education Requirements for the posted experience-to-degree mapping).

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include planning and executing functional verification for blocks/cores/SoCs and maintaining verification artifacts.

• Develop comprehensive test plans covering features for Block/Core/SoC and write functional coverage models.
• Write scalable, reusable testbenches using the verification methodology framework.
• Create pseudo-random tests to achieve full functional coverage.
• Run and debug regressions, analyze failures and coverage gaps, and improve tests.
• Document verification strategy: test plans, testbench design, random tests, and coverage goals.
• Participate in design and verification reviews.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience. Degree and years-of-experience requirements are summarized under Education Requirements below.

• Working knowledge of SystemVerilog and verification methodologies such as UVM or VMM. (Must-have)
• Solid command of object-oriented programming principles applied to verification. (Must-have)
• Experience writing functional coverage and creating pseudo-random tests. (Must-have)
• Familiarity with PCI Express protocol. (Nice-to-have)

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related field with 5+ years of relevant experience, OR a Master’s degree in electrical engineering or a related field with 3+ years of relevant experience. "Related" implies closely aligned technical degrees (for example: Computer Engineering, Electronics) and practical verification experience may be considered in lieu of or alongside formal degrees as noted above.
