IP Design Verification Engineer

Job Title

IP Design Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Perform mixed-signal IP verification to ensure designs meet functional, timing, power, and performance targets. Work within the Central Engineering Group with cross-functional teams to define verification strategies, implement test environments, reproduce and debug presilicon issues, and document results.

Experience Level

Mid-level. Typical candidates have multiple years of IP verification experience (see Education Requirements for degree-specific minimums).

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Develop and execute comprehensive mixed-signal IP verification plans and test strategies.
• Create and maintain testbenches and verification environments using methodologies such as UVM/OVM.
• Perform analog behavioral modeling to validate functionality, timing, and power objectives.
• Identify, reproduce, and debug presilicon bugs and root causes; drive corrective actions.
• Analyze coverage metrics and propose improvements to achieve verification completeness.
• Collaborate with design, layout, and system teams to refine verification approaches and optimize designs.
• Document test plans, methodologies, and results; lead technical reviews with cross-functional teams.
• Maintain and improve verification infrastructure and methodologies to support evolving IP requirements.

Requirements
