Summary

Job Title: Design Verification Lead
Location: San Jose/Portland USA

Position Summary:

We are looking for a highly motivated Design Verification Lead with strong expertise in SystemVerilog/UVM-based verification of complex memory subsystems. The candidate will be responsible for driving verification of high-performance memory architectures involving AXI4 interconnects, HBM interfaces, buffer management schemes, transaction scheduling, and high-throughput data movement engines.

The ideal candidate should have extensive experience in subsystem-level verification, verification closure, performance validation, and debugging of complex scenarios involving a large number of concurrent outstanding memory transactions.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead verification activities for memory-intensive SoC subsystems and AI accelerator architectures.
Develop comprehensive verification plans, test strategies, and coverage models.
Architect and implement reusable SystemVerilog/UVM verification environments
Verify complex AXI4-based subsystems including:
Multi-master/multi-slave configurations
Outstanding transaction handling
Out-of-order completions
QoS and arbitration mechanisms
Bandwidth and latency validation
Verify HBM memory interfaces and high-bandwidth memory access traffic patterns.
Develop stimulus and checkers to validate:
Large numbers of pending memory transactions
Read/write ordering
Backpressure handling
Buffer overflow/underflow conditions
Performance corner cases
Verify memory buffer management algorithms and data movement engines.
Validate optimized scheduling and arbitration logic for throughput, fairness, and latency requirements.
Develop protocol compliance checkers, scoreboards, assertions, and functional coverage models.
Drive regression execution, failure analysis, coverage closure, and verification signoff.
Collaborate closely with Architecture, RTL Design, Performance Modeling, Firmware, and Validation teams.

Required Qualifications:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
Minimum 8+ years of Design Verification experience in ASIC/SoC development.

Strong expertise in:

SystemVerilog
UVM
Assertions (SVA)
Coverage-Driven Verification
Constrained Random Verification
Extensive hands-on experience building UVM environments from scratch.
Strong subsystem-level verification experience.
Deep understanding of AXI4 protocol including:
Outstanding transactions
ID-based ordering
Bursts
Interleaving
Performance validation
Protocol compliance checking
Experience verifying memory subsystems involving:
Memory controllers
DMA engines
Buffer managers
Data movement architecture
Good understanding of HBM architecture and interfaces.
Experience verifying high-throughput memory access patterns with large numbers of concurrent pending transactions.
Experience validating schedulers, arbitration logic, and traffic management algorithms.
Strong debugging and root-cause analysis skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience with HBM2E / HBM3 / HBM3E memory subsystems.
Experience in AI/ML accelerator, networking, or datacenter SoCs.
Knowledge of cache-coherent interconnects and memory hierarchies.
Experience with performance modeling and verification.
Experience with Formal Verification and Assertions.
Experience with Emulation/FPGA acceleration platforms.
Familiarity with Python, Perl, or Shell scripting for automation.

Desired Technical Skills:

SystemVerilog
UVM
AXI4 / AXI4-Stream
HBM2E / HBM3
Memory Controllers
DMA Engines
Buffer Management
Scheduler Verification
Functional Coverage
Assertions (SVA)
VCS / Xcelium / Questa
