Senior ASIC IP Verification Engineer

Job Title

Senior ASIC IP Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Plan, build, and execute verification for AMD custom silicon/ASIC designs to ensure a bug-free final design. Work closely with architecture, design, functional DV, emulation, platform debug and post-silicon teams across sites and timezones.

Experience Level

Senior — requires 5+ years of Design Verification experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include defining verification scope, implementing verification environments, and driving sign-off.

• Collaborate with architecture, design, functional DV, emulation, and platform debug teams to gather verification requirements.
• Create detailed testplans from architecture specifications and implement verification cases.
• Develop and maintain UVM/OVM testbenches and verification frameworks.
• Implement stimulus, checkers, scoreboards, functional coverage and assertions.
• Execute DV flows and own DV sign-off to ensure design quality before tape-out.
• Support post-silicon debug and root-cause investigations with post-silicon teams.
• Bring up SoC/verification environments and validate RESET/CLOCK flows and debug interfaces.
• Mentor junior engineers and drive continuous methodology improvements.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience.

• Strong experience with Verilog, SystemVerilog and C; proficient with UVM/OVM and developing UVM-based testbenches.
• Proven ability to develop and debug testbenches using simulation and debug tools such as VCS and Verdi.
• Thorough understanding of verification methodology, stimulus generation, checkers, scoreboards, and coverage-driven verification.
• Understanding of SoC design and subsystem/IP-level verification; experience with bring-up of SoC verification environments and RESET/CLOCK flows.
• Experience in wireless protocol design verification and high-speed interface verification.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with PCIE, DDR, USB or other high-speed interfaces; familiarity with AXI/AHB/APB bus protocols.
• Prior exposure to ARM/RISC processor-based designs and firmware/RTL debugging.
• Scripting experience (Python, Perl, Makefile, shell) and familiarity with C++.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering is listed; the posting specifies 5+ years of experience.
