Senior Design Verification Engineer - TeraWave
Blue OriginJob Title
Senior Design Verification Engineer - TeraWave
Role Summary
Senior verification engineer on the ASIC & Networking team responsible for defining and executing verification strategy, methodology, and infrastructure for TeraWave's in-house silicon program (IP through full SoC). Focus areas include verification planning, automation, regression/CI, and building AI-enabled verification capabilities.
Experience Level
Senior-level. Minimum five years' professional experience in ASIC or SoC functional verification is expected.
Responsibilities
Lead verification planning and execution, build verification infrastructure, and ensure sign-off readiness.
- Own verification planning and execution for complex blocks and subsystems, from test plan through sign-off.
- Translate design specifications into verification strategies, measurable coverage goals, and risk identification.
- Select verification methods (constrained-random, formal, directed) and apply appropriately.
- Develop verification environments, reference models, scoreboards, protocol monitors, coverage components, and assertions.
- Drive functional coverage closure, maintain regression health, and coordinate sign-off across simulation and formal results.
- Build regression and CI systems and define reuse strategy across IP, subsystem, and SoC levels.
- Apply and extend AI-assisted verification tooling for stimulus generation, regression triage, and coverage analytics.
- Review testbench architecture and debug methodology; mentor junior engineers in verification methodology.
Requirements
Core technical requirements for the role. Education details are listed separately under Education Requirements.
- Minimum five years' experience in ASIC or SoC functional verification.
- Hands-on expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM or formal testbench development and maintenance.
- Experience with metric-driven verification: planning, assertions, and functional coverage closure.
- Experience verifying complex digital control and datapath logic, including RTL and system-level debug.
- Familiarity with constrained-random simulation, formal methods, and processor-driven SoC testing.
Nice-to-have:
- Background in wireless communications, modem/baseband, DSP, or space-based communications.
- Experience with LDPC, FEC, framing, beamforming logic, interconnect/NoC verification, ECC/reliability, or fault injection.
- Formal verification experience on production silicon and experience verifying connectivity, register maps, arbitration, CDC, or security properties.
- Experience developing C-based or portable stimulus for SoC, CPU boot, and firmware-driven test scenarios.
- Experience applying AI/ML/LLM tooling to stimulus generation, regression triage, or coverage analysis.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
