Full Job Description
THE ROLE:

The focus of this Design Verification Engineer role is to drive end-to-end IP/feature verification with strong technical ownership. This role combines deep specialization (UVM/verification/debug) with broad cross-domain understanding (architecture, RTL, firmware, software), enabling integrative technical decisions that materially impact product quality, schedule, and execution.

THE PERSON:

You have a passion for modern, complex processor architecture, digital design, and verification in general. You are a team player who has excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with other engineers located in different sites and time zones. You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills and are willing to learn and ready to take on problems.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
  • Collaborate with architects, hardware engineers, firmware engineers, and software teams to understand and verify new features.
  • Build comprehensive test plans covering feature behavior, cross-feature interactions, hardware/firmware dependencies, and driver use cases.
  • Estimate effort and timelines for test development and test environment updates.
  • Develop, automate, and execute high-quality directed and constrained-random verification tests using UVM/SystemVerilog and C++-based validation frameworks to ensure robust feature coverage and efficient bug detection.
  • Debug complex test failures, identify root cause, and partner with RTL/firmware teams to resolve design and test issues.
  • Review functional and code coverage; add/adjust tests and constraints to meet closure goals.
  • Build and improve verification frameworks, regression quality, and automation workflows.
  • Drive simulation efficiency improvements through profiling, acceleration, and methodology/process enhancements.

SCOPE, OWNERSHIP, AND IMPACT:
  • Owns processes of significant technical importance, including outcomes in own area and interdependent areas.
  • Solves complex, novel, and non-recurring problems; initiates and leads significant method/process improvements.
  • Influences technical decisions with significant impact on final product quality and delivery.
  • Operates with a 3-6 month business and technical planning horizon.
  • Works with limited supervision; performance is evaluated based on project execution and results.
  • Understands that errors can place project timelines at risk and create commercial exposure.
  • Coaches and mentors less-experienced engineers; serve as a technical leader across teams.

QUALIFYING SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
  • Strong hands-on expertise in UVM concepts and SystemVerilog.
  • Strong RTL/firmware debug capability using simulation tools.
  • Proficiency in IP-level ASIC verification.
  • Programming knowledge in Verilog/SystemVerilog, C, and C++.
  • Assembly-level debugging ability.
  • Experience in Linux environments; working familiarity with Windows.
  • Scripting proficiency in Perl or Python (shell/Makefile/Ruby beneficial).
  • Practical experience with functional and code coverage analysis and closure.

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
  • Bachelors or Masters degree in computer engineering OR Electrical Engineering is strongly preferred.
