Senior SoC Design Verification Engineer

Job Title

Senior SoC Design Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Verify Arm-based IPs, subsystems and SoCs by developing and executing scalable verification solutions and owning end-to-end verification execution. Work within the Solutions SoC Engineering organization alongside architecture, design, firmware, emulation, FPGA, validation and post-silicon teams to deliver high-quality silicon.

Experience Level

Senior — typically 4–9 years of IP, subsystem, or SoC verification experience as described in the posting.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities focus on verification strategy, environment development, execution, and cross-team collaboration to achieve coverage and quality goals.

• Develop and execute verification strategies for IP, subsystems and SoCs.
• Verify CPU, PCIe, DDR, security, coherency, memory subsystem and interconnect functionality.
• Perform power-aware verification and system scenario/performance validation (UPF-aware).
• Own verification deliverables from planning through closure; ensure schedule and quality commitments are met.
• Architect, develop and maintain reusable verification environments, VIP, methodologies and automation.
• Create verification plans, test cases and coverage-closure strategies; drive functional, code, toggle, assertion and coverage closure.
• Debug RTL, testbench, integration and system-level issues.
• Leverage scripting, automation and AI-assisted workflows to improve verification productivity.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience required to perform effectively in this role. Desired items are listed separately.

• 4–9 years of IP, subsystem or SoC verification experience focused on functional verification.
• Strong Verilog, SystemVerilog and UVM expertise and familiarity with modern verification methodologies.
• Experience with Arm-based SoC architecture, coherency, interconnects and memory hierarchy.
• Experience with power-aware verification and UPF-aware flows.
• Proficiency in C/C++ and scripting for testbench automation, plus strong RTL/testbench debug skills.
• Good analytical, communication and collaboration skills; experience working across architecture, design and validation teams.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant engineering discipline (for example Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or similar).

Requirements (Nice-to-have)

Additional skills that would strengthen a candidate's fit.

• Experience with CHI, ACE, AMBA, PCIe, DDR or security IP.
• Knowledge of Arm system architecture and assembly programming.
• Experience with formal verification, emulation, FPGA, gate-level simulation or post-silicon validation.
