What they need
Overview
We are seeking a highly skilled Design Verification Engineer to take full technical ownership of block-level verification for complex ASIC/SoC designs.
The ideal candidate must have a proven track record of architecting and building complete UVM testbench environments from scratch. While experience with high-speed protocols (UCIe, PCIe, Ethernet) is highly desirable, demonstrated expertise in end-to-end UVM testbench development is the primary requirement for this role.
Key Responsibilities
- Block-Level Ownership: Take full technical ownership of verification for 4–5 complex design blocks per project.
- Testbench Architecture: Design, build, and maintain robust verification environments from scratch using SystemVerilog and UVM (including testbench infrastructure, agents, drivers, monitors, sequencers, test sequences, scoreboards, and functional coverage models).
- Test Execution & Coverage: Develop and execute both directed and constrained-random tests; drive functional and code coverage closure.
- Debug & Regression: Perform detailed root-cause analysis, waveform debugging, protocol debugging, and regression triage.
- Integration & Collaboration: Work closely with customer engineering teams and internal project leads to ensure seamless integration of block-level verification into customer-owned top-level testbenches.
Required Qualifications & Technical SkillsCore Requirements (Must-Have)
- Experience: 6–10+ years of hands-on ASIC/SoC digital verification experience.
- UVM Expertise: Expert-level proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM, with hands-on experience building end-to-end UVM testbenches completely from scratch.
- Methodology: In-depth mastery of constrained-random testing, functional coverage modeling, and automated regression flows.
- Tooling: Strong proficiency with industry-standard simulators (Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium, or Siemens/Mentor Questa).
- Soft Skills: Excellent communication, proactive problem-solving, and the ability to work independently in a customer-facing, collaborative environment.
Preferred Protocol & Domain Experience (Strong Plus)
- Experience verifying complex digital designs in networking silicon, switches, NICs, or high-performance interconnect ASICs.
- Hands-on protocol experience with one or more of the following:
- UCIe (UCIe 2.0 preferred)
- PCIe (Gen 4 / 5 / 6)
- Ethernet (MAC / PCS / PMA layers)
Pay: $75.00 - $80.00 per hour
