Senior Engineer II - Digital Verification

Job Title

Senior Engineer II - Digital Verification

Role Summary

Senior engineer responsible for planning and executing functional verification of digital ASIC/SoC blocks. Works with design teams to develop verification strategies, implement testbenches, run simulation and debug failures, and ensure coverage and quality targets are met.

Member of a verification engineering team; expected to provide technical leadership on verification methodology and mentor junior engineers.

Experience Level

Senior level. Typical expectation: experienced engineer (commonly 5+ years) in digital verification or equivalent industry experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include development and execution of verification plans and infrastructure.

• Develop verification plans and define verification scope and metrics.
• Design and implement SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches and verification IP.
• Create directed tests, constrained-random stimulus, assertions, and checkers.
• Run simulations, debug RTL and testbench issues, and root-cause failures.
• Develop and maintain regression suites and coverage-driven verification flows.
• Collaborate with RTL designers, architects, and CAD to resolve issues and close coverage holes.
• Mentor junior verification engineers and contribute to verification methodology improvements.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience; concise list of expected competencies.

• Proven experience in digital verification of ASIC or SoC blocks.
• Strong SystemVerilog and UVM knowledge and hands-on testbench implementation.
• Experience with industry simulators and verification tools (e.g., Synopsys VCS, Mentor/Siemens Questa, Cadence Xcelium).
• Proficiency in scripting (Python, Perl, Shell) for automation and regression management.
• Ability to debug RTL and verification environment failures and perform root-cause analysis.
• Good understanding of RTL design, timing concepts, and common digital IP (AXI, AHB, etc.).
• Effective communication skills and experience collaborating across design and verification teams.
• Nice-to-have: experience with formal verification, emulation, or hardware-assisted verification platforms.

Education Requirements

Not specified.
