Senior Verification Engineer

Job Title

Senior Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Join Analog Devices' Security IP team to lead verification of complex hardware security IP and subsystems. You will develop advanced SystemVerilog/UVM verification environments, own verification plans and coverage closure, and work with design, firmware, and security teams to ensure functionality and security of next-generation security products.

Experience Level

Senior — typically 4–7 years of experience in digital design verification.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Own block- and subsystem-level verification for security-focused IP and secure enclave solutions.
• Create verification plans driven by architecture specs, threat models, and product requirements.
• Develop and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM environments, checkers, scoreboards, assertions, and functional coverage models.
• Design constrained-random and directed tests targeting functional, security, and corner-case behaviors.
• Drive verification closure using code, functional, and assertion coverage plus regression analysis.
• Debug complex RTL and simulation failures, perform root-cause analysis, and coordinate fixes.
• Verify processor-based subsystems by writing C tests and integrating firmware; validate cryptographic accelerators, secure boot, key management, and security controllers.
• Support emulation, firmware integration, and post-silicon validation activities.
• Contribute to reusable VIP, automation infrastructure, and mentor junior verification engineers.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience:

• Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM methodology.
• 4–7 years of digital design verification experience (typical for the role).
• Experience developing reusable verification environments, scoreboards, checkers, and coverage models.
• Solid understanding of constrained-random verification, functional coverage, SVA (assertions), regression management, and coverage closure.
• Experience with RTL simulation and debug tools (examples: VCS, Xcelium, Simvision, Verdi, Questa).
• Proficiency with scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or Tcl and working in Linux environments.
• SoC verification experience including writing C test cases and verifying processor-based systems (ARM Cortex-M, RISC-V, or similar).
• Experience with common SoC interfaces (APB, AHB, AXI, QSPI, UART, DMA).

Nice-to-have

• Experience verifying hardware security IPs (AES, SHA, RSA, ECC, PQC, key management, secure storage).
• Familiarity with secure enclave architectures, root-of-trust, secure boot, DICE attestation, or trusted execution environments.
• Experience with formal verification tools, emulation platforms, and firmware-driven verification.
• Familiarity with side-channel mitigation, fault injection resistance, and other hardware security countermeasures.
• Experience with AI-assisted engineering or verification productivity tools.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
