Principal ASIC Design Verification Engineer

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute verification plans for block-level, subsystem-level, and full-chip environments
• Build SystemVerilog/UVM test benches, including agents, monitors, scoreboards, checkers, and coverage models
• Write SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) and integrate formal verification
• Drive constrained-random and directed testing strategies to validate functionality and corner cases
• Run simulations, triage failures, and collaborate with RTL designers to resolve issues
• Implement and maintain functional, code, and assertion coverage for sign-off
• Manage regression testing, simulation farms, and CI pipelines
• Participate in design reviews and influence design-for-verification (DFV) best practices
• Support silicon bring-up and post-silicon validation through test reuse and debug analysis
• Manage external IP providers and verification partners

Requirements

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 10+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC verification
• Solid understanding of SystemVerilog, digital logic, RTL design, and DFT
• Proficiency with simulation tools (VCS, Xcelium, Questa) and waveform debug (Verdi, SimVision)
• Experience with UVM-based testbench development and constrained-random testing
• Experience with regression management, Git, and CI/CD automation
• Experience with embedded processor-based designs and C/C++ coding
• Understanding of industry-standard interfaces like APB, AHB, and AXI

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with low power verification
• Experience with analog behavioral models
• Familiarity with physical design flows
• Experience in space, telecom, or RF/digital mixed systems
