Senior Staff SOC Verification Engineer

Job Title

Senior Staff SOC Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Lead verification of digital IP blocks and SoC subsystems for Wireless MCU products, focusing on simulation, formal techniques, and metrics-driven verification. Work within a cross-functional team responsible for architecture, design, verification, emulation, and implementation of low-power wireless SoCs.

Execute verification plans, build and run UVM environments, debug IP and system-level failures, and contribute to verification flows and methodologies to meet functionality, power, and performance targets.

Experience Level

Senior — typically 10+ years of design verification experience.

Responsibilities

Execute verification plans across block, subsystem, and SoC levels and improve verification infrastructure and methodology.

• Develop and execute block/IP verification plans; drive metrics-driven verification.
• Build UVM-based verification components and testbenches; develop constrained-random tests, scoreboards, and coverage models.
• Apply formal verification and static analysis (lint, property checks) as part of the flow.
• Validate block power and performance; perform gate-level verification and provide activity files for power analysis.
• Debug functional failures at subsystem and SoC levels, including chip-level tests for functionality, power, and performance.
• Architect and improve verification flows and methodologies for IP, SoC, and formal verification.

Requirements

Key technical skills and experience required to perform the role.

Must-have:

• Strong experience with Verilog, SystemVerilog, UVM, and C/C++.
• Demonstrated experience architecting and building complex verification environments from scratch.
• Advanced verification skills: SVAs, constrained-random stimulus, scoreboards, and coverage analysis.
• Experience with CPU subsystem and memory controller verification and familiarity with ARM or RISC-V architectures and bus protocols.
• Proficiency in scripting (Perl, Python, Tcl, shell) and C-based testcase development and debugging.
• Experience using formal verification tools and integrating lint/auto/property checks into flows.
• Experience leveraging AI-powered tools to improve productivity, analysis, or decision-making.

Nice-to-have:

• Familiarity with Flash/RRAM controller architectures.
• Experience with low-power verification and UPF methodologies.
• Technical leadership, mentoring experience, and strong written/oral communication skills.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
