Design Verification Engineer

Location: Bay Area, CA (Onsite/Hybrid)
Experience: 8+ Years

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Design Verification Engineer with strong expertise in ASIC/SoC verification to join our semiconductor team. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in SystemVerilog, UVM, and protocol verification, with a proven track record of developing robust verification environments and achieving coverage closure.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute comprehensive verification plans for ASIC/SoC designs.

• Build reusable UVM-based verification environments, testbenches, scoreboards, checkers, and assertions.

• Create and execute directed and constrained-random test cases.

• Perform functional, code, assertion, and toggle coverage analysis and drive coverage closure.

• Debug RTL and simulation issues in collaboration with design teams.

• Verify complex IPs and SoCs at block, subsystem, and chip level.

• Work closely with RTL designers, architects, and physical design teams throughout the development lifecycle.

• Participate in regression execution, bug tracking, and verification sign-off.

Required Skills

• 8+ years of ASIC/SoC Design Verification experience.

• Strong expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM.

• Excellent knowledge of Verilog and digital design fundamentals.

• Experience with industry-standard simulators such as Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium, or Siemens QuestaSim.

• Strong debugging and scripting skills using Python, Perl, Shell, or Tcl.

• Experience with assertions (SVA), constrained-random verification, and functional coverage.

• Familiarity with version control systems such as Git.

Preferred Experience

• Chip-level and SoC verification.

• Verification of high-speed bus protocols such as AXI, AHB, APB, PCIe, USB, Ethernet, DDR, MIPI, or UCIe.

• Low-power verification using UPF/CPF.

• Experience with emulation or FPGA prototyping is a plus.

Education

Bachelor''s or Master''s degree in Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

Employment Type: Full-Time
