Job Description:
Position Summary
We are seeking a highly motivated Design Verification (DV) Engineer to verify Design-for-Test (DFT) and test-related logic for complex SoC and IP designs on our flagship FPGAs. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and executing comprehensive pre-silicon verification plans, creating UVM-based testbenches, and ensuring high-quality silicon through rigorous verification methodologies.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and execute verification plans for DFT and test logic features, including scan, MBIST, LBIST, JTAG, boundary scan, and related infrastructures.
- Create and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM-based verification environments.
- Develop reusable verification components, sequences, scoreboards, assertions, and coverage models.
- Verify DFT architectures and test modes at IP, subsystem, and SoC levels.
- Perform functional, regression, and coverage-driven verification.
- Analyze simulation failures, debug RTL and testbench issues, and drive root cause resolution.
- Collaborate closely with DFT architects, design engineers, validation teams, and physical design teams.
- Review specifications and provide feedback on testability and verification requirements.
- Track verification metrics, functional coverage, code coverage, and regression results.
Qualifications:
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
- 5+ years of ASIC/SoC design verification experience.
- Strong expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM methodology.
- Experience verifying DFT features such as:
- Scan insertion and scan compression
- MBIST
- LBIST
- JTAG / IEEE 1149.x
- Boundary scan
- Test access mechanisms
- Strong debugging skills in simulation environments.
- Experience with industry-standard simulators such as VCS, Xcelium, or Questa.
- Knowledge of assertions (SVA), constrained-random verification, and coverage-driven methodologies.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with SoC-level verification.
- Familiarity with ATPG concepts and test pattern generation.
- Knowledge of low-power verification methodologies.
- Experience with scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or Tcl.
- Understanding of CI/CD and automated regression environments.
- Experience mentoring junior verification engineers.
