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.
