IC Design Verification Engineer

The role

You will verify blocks and subsystems of a chiplet by building UVM testbenches, writing tests, and driving coverage to closure. You will also debug across simulation and emulation.

What you will do

• Build and extend UVM testbenches for assigned blocks and subsystems.
• Write directed and constrained-random tests and develop functional coverage.
• Verify in-house engines against an algorithmic golden model.
• Integrate and use VIP and run compliance, link-training, loopback, and lane-repair scenarios.
• Run regressions, triage failures, and help maintain the CI/regression flow.
• Register verification, firmware co-simulation, and boot flows on the MCU subsystem.
• Perform mixed-signal co-simulation.
• Support hardware-assisted verification on emulation or FPGA prototyping.
• Participate in gate-level and low-power verification during signoff.
• Collaborate with design, architecture, modelling, and DFT teams.

Required qualifications

• BS or MS in Electrical/Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience)
• 3+ years of ASIC/SoC functional verification
• Solid UVM/SystemVerilog; constrained-random and coverage-driven verification
• Testbench development and coverage closure
• Strong debug skills across simulation
• Scripting in Python, Perl, or TCL
• Familiarity with regression/CI flows and failure triage

Nice to have

• High-speed SerDes, PAM4, or FEC/coding (Reed-Solomon) verification
• UCIe, PCIe/CXL, Ethernet, or UALink VIP / compliance experience
• Mixed-signal verification (Verilog-AMS or SV real-number models)
• Hardware-assisted verification — emulation (e.g., Palladium/Veloce) and/or FPGA prototyping (e.g., HAPS/Protium)
• Low-power/UPF and gate-level simulation; performance-verification methodology
• Exposure to NICs, Ethernet/IB switches, or cache-coherent fabrics (multi-core / coherent fabric)
• Formal verification for control/interlock logic; portable stimulus

Benefits

• Competitive salary commensurate with experience
• Comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, and vision
• Professional development opportunities and certification support
• Access to cutting-edge technology and cloud platforms
• Collaborative work environment with cross-functional teams
