Senior ASIC Design Verification Engineer - Terawave
Blue OriginJob Title
Senior ASIC Design Verification Engineer - Terawave
Role Summary
Lead verification efforts for digital subsystems in next-generation satellite communications ASICs (TeraWave). Work on verification architecture, develop UVM-based testbenches, drive coverage closure, and collaborate with design, systems, DFT, firmware, and physical design teams.
Experience Level
Senior level — requires substantial prior experience; source indicates 8+ years of ASIC/SoC verification experience.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include technical leadership of verification planning and execution, design and maintenance of advanced verification environments, and cross-team coordination.
- Lead verification planning and execution for complex blocks or subsystems.
- Develop UVM environments, reference models, scoreboards, protocol monitors, and assertions.
- Translate architecture and design specifications into verification strategies and measurable coverage goals.
- Drive functional coverage closure, regression health, and verification signoff readiness.
- Identify verification gaps, corner cases, and high-risk scenarios early in the development cycle.
- Collaborate closely with design, systems, DFT, firmware, and physical design teams.
- Review testbench architecture, stimulus quality, and debug methodologies for technical excellence.
- Mentor junior engineers in verification best practices.
- Support bring-up, emulation, prototyping, and post-silicon debug activities as needed.
Requirements
Must-have skills and experience for immediate contribution; preferred items listed after as nice-to-have.
- 8+ years of ASIC/SoC verification experience.
- Deep hands-on expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM.
- Strong understanding of verification planning, assertions, and coverage closure.
- Experience verifying complex digital control and datapath logic.
- Proven debugging capability across RTL, testbench, and system interactions.
- Ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary engineering teams.
Nice-to-have:
- Background in space-based or wireless communications, modem/baseband hardware.
- Experience with LDPC/BCH/FEC blocks, framing engines, beamforming logic, or DSP pipelines.
- Familiarity with formal verification tools and methodologies.
- Experience with low-power verification, CDC/RDC verification, or reset-domain behavior.
- Knowledge of high-speed interface verification and hardware/software interactions.
Education Requirements
BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field (as stated). No other degrees or certifications were specified.
