What You'll Be Doing
You'll join Ericsson's ASIC IP organization - a growing, world-class semiconductor team - where you'll take on real ownership across the full verification stack. Expect to dig deep into:

TLM modeling - building transaction-level models that drive early architectural verification
Block- and Top-Level ASIC/IP Verification - owning coverage closure from block to chip
Testbench architecture - designing and building UVM environments from scratch, not inheriting someone else's shortcuts
SW-driven verification - bridging the gap between hardware and embedded software to verify real-world behavior
This isn't a role where you maintain existing infrastructure. You'll build things, break things, and find the bugs that matter - all in a fast-moving team where your contributions are visible and your growth is a priority.

Several years of hands-on, in industry RTL verification experience in IP, ASIC, SoC.
Deep, practical experience with SystemVerilog and UVM
Proven ability to architect and build testbenches from the ground up
Block- and/or top-level RTL debug experience - you know how to find what's hiding in the waveform
IP familiarity in one or more of: SerDes, PCIe, ARM Subsystems, DSPs/Accelerators, or Ethernet
Scripting proficiency - TCL, Python, Perl, or equivalent
Clear, confident communicator - you can explain what you found and why it matters

Highly Desired Experience:

Experience developing full test plans and directed/randomized test cases from scratch
Object-oriented programming chops that show up in your verification code
Embedded software design and test experience
Fluency in the standard Linux/GIT/LSF development environment
Hands-on experience with AMBA APB, AXI, ACE-Lite, or CHI interfaces
Familiarity with computer architecture - CPU pipelines, memory hierarchies, cache coherency protocols
Early leadership instincts and the hunger to grow them

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience.
