We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Staff Design Verification Engineer to join our hardware development team. In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring the functional correctness and robustness of complex digital and mixed-signal ASIC designs through advanced verification methodologies. You will work closely with architects, designers, and other verification engineers to deliver high-quality silicon solutions.
Responsibilities
- Develop and execute comprehensive verification plans for complex mixed-signal ASIC designs.
- Create and maintain testbenches using SystemVerilog/UVM.
- Write and debug test cases to verify functionality, performance, and corner cases.
- Perform block-level and full-chip verification, including simulation, coverage analysis, and regression run/debug.
- Collaborate with design engineers to understand specifications and identify verification requirements.
- Analyze and resolve issues found during verification and post-silicon validation.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to improving verification processes and infrastructure.
- Participate in code reviews and contribute to continuous improvement of design and verification practices.
- Manage and debug gate-level simulation (pre- and post- layout, with and without SDF timing annotation).
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
- 10+ years of experience in digital and/or mixed-signal design verification.
- Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog, UVM, and simulation tools (Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium).
- Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals, RTL design, and ASIC development flows.
- Experience with scripting languages (Python, Perl, Tcl) for automation.
- Familiarity with formal verification, assertion-based verification, and coverage-driven verification.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
- Strong communication and teamwork abilities.
- Experience with version control systems and CI/CD workflows.
- Experience with other verification methodologies (e/eRM, hardware/software co-simulation).
- Knowledge of standard protocols desired (AMBA, I2C, etc.)
