Staff Engineer, Design Verification Engineering
Role Summary
The Staff Design Verification Engineer will lead verification strategy and architecture for complex digital and mixed-signal ASIC designs. This role provides technical leadership, mentors junior engineers, and coordinates across design, validation, and customer teams to ensure verification completeness and product quality.
Experience Level
Senior - the role expects senior-level experience. The posting indicates approximately 7–10+ years of relevant digital design verification experience.
Responsibilities
Key responsibilities include driving verification architecture, debugging complex issues, and coordinating verification efforts across teams.
- Architect and lead verification strategy for complex digital and mixed-signal designs.
- Design and implement UVM/SystemVerilog-based verification environments and testbenches.
- Develop verification plans and drive coverage-driven closure.
- Lead debugging across RTL and gate-level simulations and resolve complex verification issues.
- Provide technical mentorship and guidance to junior verification engineers.
- Coordinate cross-functional verification requirements and sign-off criteria with design teams.
- Lead post-silicon validation activities and support root-cause analysis.
- Act as technical representative to customers and partners on verification topics.
Requirements
Must-have technical skills and expectations.
- Expert-level SystemVerilog and UVM for building advanced verification environments.
- Proven test planning and coverage-driven verification methodology experience.
- Deep experience with mixed-signal verification methodologies and practices.
- Advanced debugging skills across multiple abstraction levels (RTL, gate-level).
- Proficiency with EDA tools (Cadence/Synopsys) and formal verification techniques.
- Strong scripting and automation skills (Python, Perl, TCL, Shell) for verification frameworks.
- Demonstrated technical leadership and ability to influence methodology adoption.
- Willingness to travel approximately 10% for customer or cross-site activities.
Education Requirements
Preferred MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. The posting also specifies roughly 7–10+ years of relevant digital design verification experience.
