Verification Engineer
SpeedataJob Title
Verification Engineer
Role Summary
Join a small engineering team building a purpose‑built Analytics Processing Unit (APU). The role focuses on developing and executing verification plans for complex digital ASIC designs across full‑chip development cycles.
The team works on high‑performance analytics and AI processor IP and SoC blocks with emphasis on correctness, coverage, and silicon readiness.
Experience Level
Senior — requires 10+ years of industry experience in verification and full‑chip development cycles.
Responsibilities
Work with the design and validation teams to verify complex SoC/IP blocks and drive full‑chip verification to silicon readiness.
- Develop and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches and verification environments.
- Create and execute verification plans, directed tests, and constrained‑random tests to meet coverage goals.
- Debug functional failures across RTL, simulation, and bring‑up phases; isolate root causes and propose fixes.
- Collaborate with architects, RTL designers, and tools engineers to close verification gaps and support tape‑outs.
- Contribute to verification IP integration and validation of interfaces and memory subsystems.
Requirements
Must‑have skills and experience followed by concise nice‑to‑have items.
- Must have: 10+ years industry experience in verification and full‑chip development cycles.
- Must have: Strong SystemVerilog and UVM expertise (explicitly required).
- Must have: Proven experience writing and running verification testbenches and achieving coverage targets.
- Nice to have: Experience with formal verification techniques.
- Nice to have: Scripting skills (Python, Perl, shell) for automation and flow integration.
- Nice to have: Hands‑on experience with two or more of: PCIe (Gen5+), DDR (v4+), AMBA protocols (AXI4+, ACE/CHI), ARM core architecture.
Education Requirements
Required: BSc in Electronics Engineering or Computer Science. Preferred: M.Sc. in Electronics Engineering or Computer Science. (Degrees in closely related technical fields are implied; no mention of equivalent‑experience language in the source.)
