Staff Digital Verification Engineer

Job Title

Staff Digital Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Responsible for end-to-end verification of digital and mixed-signal Optical Control IC designs used in AI datacenter and cloud infrastructure. The role owns verification from block level through full-chip and system-level, applying modern verification methodologies and collaborating closely with digital, analog/mixed-signal, firmware, and system teams to maximize first-pass silicon success.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Typically requires 3+ years of hands-on experience in digital verification for complex SoC designs.

Responsibilities

Lead verification planning, environment development, debug, and closure across block, chip, and system levels; collaborate with cross-functional teams to enable integration and post-silicon validation.

• Own block-, chip-, and system-level verification efforts and deliverables.
• Develop comprehensive verification plans: test strategy, functional coverage, assertions, and closure criteria.
• Build and maintain UVM-based verification environments and testbenches from the ground up.
• Drive functional and code coverage analysis and closure to ensure verification completeness.
• Perform in-depth debug and root-cause analysis of functional and integration issues.
• Collaborate with digital design during architecture and RTL development to enable effective verification.
• Coordinate with analog/mixed-signal teams on co-simulation and mixed-signal verification strategies.
• Partner with firmware/software teams for system-level and application-level verification.
• Support post-silicon validation and bring-up with product evaluation and applications engineering teams.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills, verification experience, and soft skills.

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in digital verification for complex SoC designs.
• Strong expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM, including testbench architecture, sequences, scoreboards, assertions, and coverage-driven verification.
• Experience with functional coverage and code coverage analysis and closure.
• Familiarity with AMBA protocols (AXI, AHB, APB) and verification of processor-based SoCs.
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog and C/C++, and scripting with Python, Perl, Tcl, or shell.
• Strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills; ability to perform root-cause analysis.
• Experience or interest in mixed-signal verification, analog modeling, or co-simulation is a plus.
• Experience with AI-assisted tools to improve design productivity is a plus.
• Experience with post-silicon validation or close interaction with silicon bring-up teams is a plus.
• Self-motivated, able to work independently and drive tasks with minimal supervision.
• Good spoken and written English communication skills.
• Willingness to travel approximately 10% of the time.

Education Requirements

B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related fields.
