Staff Subsystem Verification Engineer

Job Title

Staff Subsystem Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Lead verification of complex SoC subsystems and drive verification programs from planning through closure. Work with architecture, design, firmware, emulation, FPGA, validation, and post-silicon teams to deliver reusable verification solutions and ensure subsystem quality.

Experience Level

Senior — 10+ years of IP or subsystem verification experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include planning, implementing, and closing verification for subsystem-level designs and integrations.

• Define and execute verification strategies for subsystem designs and IP integration.
• Verify interconnects, memory interfaces, peripherals, power management, and software-visible features.
• Validate functionality under functional, integration, stress, and performance scenarios.
• Own verification deliverables, schedules, and quality through verification closure.
• Architect, build, and maintain reusable verification environments, VIPs, methodologies, and automation.
• Develop verification plans, test cases, and coverage-closure strategies; drive functional, code, toggle, assertion, and coverage closure.
• Debug RTL, testbench, integration, and system-level issues.
• Leverage scripting, automation, and AI-assisted workflows to improve productivity.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience to perform the role; desired skills are listed after must-haves.

• Must-have: 10+ years of IP or subsystem verification experience.
• Must-have: Strong practical experience with Verilog, SystemVerilog, UVM, and modern verification methodologies.
• Must-have: Understanding of subsystem architecture, integration, AMBA protocols, and memory hierarchy.
• Must-have: Experience with RTL/testbench debugging, coverage closure, and verification flows.
• Must-have: Experience with C/C++ and scripting for verification automation.
• Must-have: Strong analytical, communication, and cross-team collaboration skills.
• Nice-to-have: Experience verifying multimedia, security, PCIe, networking, storage, or memory subsystems.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with UPF, formal verification, emulation, FPGA, gate-level simulation, reusable VIPs, or AI-assisted verification.
• Nice-to-have: Knowledge of Arm architecture and AMBA protocols (if not already listed above).

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant engineering discipline (electrical, electronics, computer engineering, computer science or similar) is specified in the posting.
