Staff Engineer, Design Verification - High-Speed Interface IP
SynopsysJob Title
Staff Engineer, Design Verification - High-Speed Interface IP
Role Summary
Lead verification activities for high-speed interface ASIC and digital IP. Develop verification strategies and environments, verify protocol implementations (notably PCI/PCIe and USB), debug failures, and collaborate with RTL design teams to drive verification to closure.
Work as part of a digital engineering team delivering robust high-speed interface technologies and semiconductor IP.
Experience Level
Senior - approximately 5–6 years of relevant ASIC/digital verification experience.
Responsibilities
Primary responsibilities include:
- Define and execute verification strategies and test plans for complex digital/IP designs.
- Build, enhance, and maintain verification environments and testbenches for high-speed protocols.
- Create test cases, stimulus, checkers, and coverage models to meet verification objectives.
- Verify functionality of designs implementing high-speed protocols (particularly PCI/PCIe and USB).
- Debug simulation failures, analyze waveforms and logs, and collaborate with RTL engineers to resolve issues.
- Perform functional and code coverage analysis and drive verification toward closure.
- Participate in design and verification reviews and improve verification quality and efficiency.
- Own assigned verification areas from planning through final verification closure.
Requirements
Must-have skills and experience:
- Approximately 5–6 years of ASIC/digital verification experience.
- Strong knowledge of digital verification concepts, test planning, and coverage analysis.
- Hands-on experience verifying high-speed protocols/interfaces.
- Experience with PCI/PCIe and/or USB; USB experience highly preferred.
- Experience developing and maintaining verification environments for complex RTL designs.
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills for RTL and verification-environment issues.
- Ability to work collaboratively with design and verification teams and take ownership of verification delivery.
Nice-to-have:
- Prior experience in ASIC IP verification or high-speed interface products.
Education Requirements
Not specified.
