Staff Design Verification Engineer

Job Title

Staff Design Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Lead technical verification strategy and architecture for complex digital and mixed-signal ASIC designs. Provide hands-on leadership, mentor engineers, and collaborate with design teams to ensure verification closure and product quality. Role may require periodic travel (~10%).

Experience Level

Senior — preferred 7–10+ years of relevant digital design verification experience, with emphasis on mixed-signal verification.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include defining verification strategies, building verification environments, and driving closure across design cycles.

• Architect and lead verification strategy for complex digital and mixed-signal designs.
• Design and implement UVM-based verification environments to achieve comprehensive coverage.
• Mentor and develop junior verification engineers; provide technical guidance.
• Coordinate verification requirements and sign-off criteria with cross-functional design teams.
• Lead complex debugging across RTL and gate-level simulations and drive problem resolution.
• Drive functional and code coverage closure using coverage-driven methodologies.
• Lead post-silicon validation activities and support customers on technical issues.
• Represent the team to customers and industry partners on verification matters.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience for performing the role effectively.

• Expert-level SystemVerilog and UVM for architecting advanced verification environments.
• Proven ability to develop test plans and coverage-driven verification strategies.
• Deep understanding of mixed-signal verification principles and methodologies.
• Advanced debugging skills across multiple design abstractions (RTL, gate-level).
• Extensive experience with EDA tools (Cadence/Synopsys) and familiarity with formal techniques.
• Advanced scripting and automation skills (Python, Perl, TCL, Shell) for verification infrastructure.
• Demonstrated technical leadership and ability to influence methodology adoption.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience leading customer-facing technical engagements and post-silicon problem resolution.

Education Requirements

Preferred: MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.
