Staff Verification Engineer

Job Title

Staff Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Verify PCIe and CXL high-speed IOs at the subsystem level for next-generation Arm-based SoCs. Work with architects, RTL designers, and verification engineers across multiple regions to define and execute subsystem verification, interoperability, and performance validation.

Experience Level

Senior — typically 5+ years of experience in design or verification of PCIe/CXL subsystems or SoCs.

Responsibilities

Ownership of subsystem-level verification activities, from strategy through debug and delivery.

• Develop functional verification strategies and craft detailed test plans for IO, subsystem integration, interoperability, and performance.
• Implement SystemVerilog/Verilog/UVM testbenches, tests, and emulation-friendly interfaces/transactors.
• Run simulations and emulation, analyze results, and debug failures to closure.
• Collaborate with architecture, RTL design, and system teams on microarchitecture, system performance, and integration issues.
• Improve verification methodologies and mentor junior engineers; support project planning and schedules.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and domain experience.

• 5+ years experience in design or verification of PCIe or CXL subsystems or SoCs.
• Strong understanding of digital hardware design and Verilog HDL.
• Experience with PCIe and CXL feature verification and performance analysis.
• Experience working with PCIe & CXL IPs and emulation-friendly transactors.
• Experience on simulation and emulation platforms and using debuggers for root-cause analysis.
• Expertise in UVM-based verification and testbench development.
• Familiarity with verification strategy, test plan creation, and formal methodology.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with Arm-based designs or ARM system architectures.
• Clock-domain crossing verification and power-aware verification experience.
• Scripting experience (Perl, Python, or similar).

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a similar technical field.
