Senior Engineer II - Verification

Job Title

Senior Engineer II - Verification

Role Summary

Senior PCIe verification engineer responsible for building and executing verification environments for next-generation data-center storage SoCs, including PCIe Gen5/6/7 memory controllers and PCIe/CXL-based devices. The role focuses on protocol-level verification to ensure silicon-ready designs used in storage, AI, and HPC systems.

Experience Level

Senior - expects 6+ years of RTL verification experience, including at least 2 years of PCIe protocol verification.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include defining verification strategy, implementing testbenches, and validating protocol behavior for PCIe/CXL IP.

• Define verification plans and implement UVM/SystemVerilog testbenches for PCIe Gen5/6/7 IP.
• Interpret PCIe protocol specifications and translate them into verification tests and checks.
• Integrate and configure third-party PCIe VIPs (e.g., Synopsys, Cadence) for Gen5/6/7 verification.
• Develop test cases, checkers, and functional and code coverage models aligned to the verification plan.
• Collaborate with firmware, emulation, and silicon validation teams; support pre-silicon and post-silicon bring-up and debug.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience:

• 6+ years of RTL verification experience, with 2+ years focused on PCIe protocol verification.
• Strong hands-on experience developing UVM/SystemVerilog testbenches.
• Deep knowledge of PCIe Gen5/6/7, with emphasis on Transaction Layer verification and PCIe/CXL EP/RC features.
• Experience integrating and using third-party PCIe VIPs (Synopsys, Cadence).
• Familiarity with AMBA protocols (AXI/AHB/APB).
• Experience creating test plans, testbench architecture, and managing functional and code coverage.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; ability to work independently and communicate clearly in writing and verbally.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Electronics, VLSI, or a closely related engineering field (e.g., Electrical/Electronic Engineering). (Degree specified in source.)
