IP Verification Engineer

Job Title

IP Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Work on front-end IP design and integration within the AECG group to verify FPGA/ASIC IP for product customers. Collaborate with architects, IP designers, PD teams, firmware and product engineers to achieve first-pass silicon functional and performance goals.

Experience Level

Mid-level engineer. No explicit years required; role expects demonstrated IP verification experience and ability to work across the ASIC project lifecycle.

Responsibilities

Primary duties include planning and executing IP-level verification and collaborating across hardware, firmware and software teams.

• Collaborate with architects, hardware and firmware teams to define features and verification scope.
• Develop verification test plans accounting for interactions with hardware, firmware and drivers.
• Implement UVM-based IP/Subsystem testbenches and verification components (monitors, scoreboards, checkers).
• Create directed and constrained-random tests; run regressions and track coverage.
• Debug test failures, analyze root causes, and drive fixes to ensure design functional and performance quality.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and relevant experience; nice-to-have items listed separately.

• Must-have: Proven IP-level ASIC verification experience; expertise in Verilog and SystemVerilog.
• Must-have: Experience developing UVM-based verification frameworks and testbenches.
• Must-have: Strong scripting skills for automation (Python, Perl or similar) and experience running regression flows.
• Must-have: Strong debugging, analytical skills, and ability to work in cross-site teams.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with simulation performance, acceleration, HLS tools/processes, or simulation profiling and efficiency improvements.
• Nice-to-have: Familiarity with PCIe, CXL, NVMe or Ethernet protocol verification.
• Nice-to-have: Prior leadership or mentorship experience; full ASIC lifecycle experience from planning to tape-out.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering.
