SoC Design Verification Engineer
Intel CorporationJob Title
SoC Design Verification Engineer
Role Summary
The SoC Design Verification Engineer develops and executes verification plans and environments to validate block-to-system level SoC designs. The role focuses on functional verification, emulation/simulation, debugging presilicon failures, and improving verification infrastructure across cross-functional teams.
Experience Level
Senior — typically 15+ years of SoC design verification experience with a Bachelor's degree, or 13+ years with a Master's degree.
Responsibilities
The engineer will create verification plans and environments, run simulations and emulations, debug failures, and collaborate with design and postsilicon teams to close coverage gaps.
- Develop and execute scalable, reusable block, subsystem, and SoC verification plans and testbenches.
- Perform functional logic verification to validate specifications and find bugs.
- Define and run emulation and system simulation models for functionality, power, and performance analysis.
- Debug and root-cause presilicon failures; document corrective actions.
- Collaborate with architects, RTL developers, postsilicon and physical design teams to improve verification methods.
- Drive technical reviews of verification plans and strategies with cross-functional teams.
- Integrate security-focused verification activities including regressions and debug tests.
- Maintain and enhance verification infrastructure and methodologies; incorporate postsilicon learnings into test plans.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and proven verification experience.
- Proficiency in SystemVerilog and hardware simulation methodologies.
- Experience with OVM/UVM-based verification environments.
- Strong knowledge of hardware design, SoC integration, and debugging methodologies.
- Hands-on experience with C/C++ for verification and test-case development.
- Experience with emulation and system-level simulation workflows.
- Demonstrated ability to execute disciplined, methodical design verification practices.
Nice-to-have:
- Low-power design verification experience.
- Familiarity with performance modeling and analysis tools.
- Experience with security verification techniques and processes.
- Strong communication and cross-team collaboration skills.
Education Requirements
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field is stated; Master's degree referenced for reduced experience requirement. The posting specifies 15+ years of verification experience with a Bachelor's or 13+ years with a Master's. No certifications were listed.
