Senior ASIC Verification Engineer - HSIO

Job Title

Senior ASIC Verification Engineer - HSIO

Role Summary

Senior engineer responsible for verification of High Speed I/O (HSIO) controllers at IP and sub-system levels. The role focuses on validating architecture, micro-architecture and implementation for controllers such as Ethernet and NVLink using advanced verification methodologies.

Work with architects, designers, and pre/post-silicon teams to define verification scope, infrastructure, tests, and to debug complex issues.

Experience Level

Senior — typically 5+ years of relevant ASIC verification experience.

Responsibilities

Primary verification responsibilities and team interactions:

• Verify ASIC design, architecture and micro-architecture of HSIO controllers at IP and sub-system levels.
• Develop test plans, tests and verification infrastructure to validate design correctness against specifications.
• Build reusable bus functional models, monitors, checkers and scoreboards following coverage-driven methodologies.
• Apply UVM-based methodologies with random stimulus, functional coverage and assertion-based techniques.
• Collaborate with architects, designers, and pre/post-silicon teams for design reviews and debug.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience.

• 5+ years of relevant ASIC verification experience at unit, sub-system or SoC level.
• Strong SystemVerilog and UVM expertise.
• Proven experience verifying IP or interconnect protocols (for example Ethernet, USB, SATA).
• Experience using random stimulus, functional coverage and assertion-based verification; familiarity with industry simulation tools.
• Excellent debugging, analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills across cross-functional teams.

Nice-to-have:

• System-level understanding of HSIO designs (Ethernet, CXL or similar).
• Scripting or software experience (Perl, Python or similar).
• Experience with AI-assisted code-assist or root-cause analysis tools.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in a technical field, or equivalent experience.
