Senior ASIC Verification Engineer

Job Title

Senior ASIC Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Lead verification of ASIC/VLSI modules and subsystems for HPE platforms. Work includes architecture-level validation, module-level verification with SystemVerilog/UVM, integration and emulation testing, and lab bring-up.

Hybrid role with an average expectation of ~2 days per week in an HPE office (Sunnyvale, CA).

Experience Level

Senior - typically 6–10 years of experience in VLSI design, verification, or implementation.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Lead verification projects and provide technical leadership to internal and outsourced teams.
• Produce detailed test plans from functional specifications and ensure module correctness.
• Implement functional models in SystemVerilog, C, or C++ for architectural validation.
• Build module-level testbenches using SystemVerilog and UVM and develop constrained-random tests.
• Use formal verification, code-coverage analysis, gate-level simulation, and emulation/full-chip testing.
• Collaborate with logic designers and software engineers to debug issues and support driver development.
• Participate in ASIC lab validation and prototype bring-up; mentor interns and new graduates.

Requirements

Must-have experience and skills:

• 6–10 years of VLSI/ASIC design, verification, or implementation experience.
• Proven experience developing block-level and full-chip testbenches with SystemVerilog and UVM.
• Experience with constrained-random verification methodologies and creating comprehensive tests.
• Familiarity with formal verification, code-coverage metrics, gate-level simulation, and emulation.
• Strong programming/scripting skills (Python, Perl, C, C++).
• Deep understanding of digital logic, computer architecture, and VLSI design principles.
• Demonstrated analytical problem-solving and effective written/verbal communication skills.
• Experience mentoring engineers and coordinating cross-functional design and verification activities.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with networking protocols, machine-learning workloads, or architecture validation.
• Patents or publications in VLSI or hardware design.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field - or equivalent practical experience.
