Sr Staff Engineer - Design Verification/VIP Verification Engineers

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain Verification IP (VIP) using SystemVerilog and UVM for industry-standard protocols including DFI, DRAM, AMBA, PCIe, USB, and Ethernet
• Build comprehensive verification plans that map protocol specifications to testable scenarios, coverage goals, and corner case strategies
• Code sequences, test scenarios, and checkers to drive coverage-based verification across functional and code coverage dimensions
• Debug complex simulation failures across multi-layer protocol stacks to identify root causes in both VIP logic and customer integration environments
• Enhance existing VIP products for performance, reusability, and scalability as protocols evolve
• Support customers during VIP integration and deployment, troubleshooting issues and ensuring successful bring-up
• Collaborate with Design IP teams, R&D engineers, and field application teams to align VIP capabilities with product roadmaps

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience
• 5+ years of hands-on experience developing Verification IP or SystemVerilog/UVM-based test benches
• Deep working knowledge of at least two industry-standard protocols such as AMBA (AXI, AHB, APB), DFI, DRAM, PCIe, or Ethernet
• Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM methodology for building reusable, scalable verification environments
• Demonstrated ability to create and execute coverage-driven verification plans, including functional and code coverage analysis
• Experience debugging complex simulation failures and resolving issues across protocol layers and integration boundaries

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working directly with customers or field teams during product deployment

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans
• Paid time away including ETO and FTO programs
