Full Job Description
Position Overview/Mandate:

The Verification Designer owns block- and system-level verification of ASIC and FPGA designs for Fidus clients, planning and executing complex verification projects end to end - building UVM, formal, and assertion-based verification environments and driving coverage closure.

This role is ideal for someone who takes lead-level ownership of verification strategy, is comfortable moving between different application domains (communications, storage, signal processing, video), and takes pride in producing thorough, well-documented verification work - often working directly with clients on verification approach.

What You'll Be Doing:
  • Own block- and system-level verification of ASIC and FPGA designs, from test plan development through coverage closure.
  • Design and implement UVM, formal, and assertion-based verification environments, applying constrained-random verification (CRV) techniques.
  • Develop behavioral models and write test cases to achieve functional coverage goals; define and track coverage metrics to closure.
  • Debug and troubleshoot failures in simulation and regression runs, collaborating with designers and system architects to resolve issues.
  • Automate verification tasks and monitor regressions using scripting (Python, Perl, or Tcl).
  • Plan, execute, and report status on multiple verification activities as a verification lead.
  • Work directly with external clients on verification strategy and support.

Who You are:
  • 8+ years of ASIC/FPGA verification experience, with proven verification-lead ownership - able to plan and execute complex verification projects end to end.
  • Strong SystemVerilog and UVM methodology fluency, including constrained-random verification (CRV) techniques.
  • Experience with functional coverage, assertions, and formal verification techniques; comfortable defining and tracking coverage metrics to closure.
  • Familiarity with industry-standard protocols such as Ethernet, DDR/LPDDR, HBM, security, networking, AXI, NoC, and ARM CPU subsystems.
  • Experience with alternative verification environments (cocoTB, pyUVM, DPI-C) is a plus.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Perl, or Tcl) to automate verification tasks.
  • Strong debugging skills, problem-solving ability, and analytical thinking.
  • Strong interpersonal, teamwork, and communication skills; comfortable being client-facing.
  • Embraces AI as part of a modern engineering toolkit.
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

Location and travel: Fully remote role and travel may be required domestically and internationally to support customer engagements and project delivery.

Benefits

Our competitive compensation package also includes a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental, and vision plans, matching 401(k) contributions, annual profit-sharing bonus, along with other supplementary benefits.

We also recognize that candidates show interest throughout different career stages and welcome all applications. When there is a great fit, the level of the role may be shifted as applicable.
