Senior Staff Design Verification Engineer

We are seeking an experienced and innovative Design Verification Engineer to join a world-class silicon design verification team. This role partners closely with digital and analog designers, systems and applications engineers, firmware/software teams, and manufacturing test to deliver high-quality mixed-signal IC solutions. You will be responsible for end-to-end functional verification across block-level and chip-level designs, contributing to advanced verification methodologies and infrastructure.

This position offers exposure to multiple verification domains including UVM-based testbench development, formal verification, hardware emulation/acceleration, gate-level simulations, and software-driven verification in a highly collaborative and technically rigorous environment.

Responsibilities:

• Develop comprehensive verification plans aligned with design and system requirements.
• Perform functional verification of custom mixed-signal ASICs at block and chip level.
• Design and implement UVM-based testbenches, including infrastructure, scoreboards, checkers, and assertions.
• Create directed and constrained-random test suites to ensure robust functional coverage.
• Implement, analyze, and drive functional and code coverage, including coverage closure.
• Conduct failure analysis, regression triage, and debug, resolving functional and timing-related issues.
• Run and debug gate-level simulations, including timing violations and back-annotation issues.
• Develop and maintain digital and mixed-signal behavioral models to support verification.
• Support verification flow and infrastructure development, including regressions and automation.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with digital/analog design, systems, applications, firmware/software, and manufacturing test teams.
• Contribute to both pre-silicon verification and post-silicon validation efforts.
• Proactively improve verification methodologies, processes, and best practices.

Required Knowledge, Skills, and Experience:

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • Bachelor’s with 10+ years of relevant experience.
  • Master’s with 8+ years of relevant experience.
  • PhD with 6+ years of relevant experience.
  • Significant industry experience in silicon design and/or ASIC verification.
  • Strong proficiency with HDLs: Verilog and/or VHDL.
  • Strong proficiency with HVLs: SystemVerilog with UVM (or OVM/AVM/Vera).
  • Solid understanding of digital design principles and system architecture.
  • Hands-on experience with:
    • Testbench architecture and stimulus generation.
    • Regression execution and debug.
    • Coverage analysis and closure.
    • Ability to work effectively in a cross-disciplinary, team-oriented environment.

Preferred Knowledge, Skills, and Experience:

• Experience verifying mixed-signal ASICs in complex SoC environments.
• Knowledge of signal processing concepts relevant to mixed-signal designs.
• Experience with SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA).
• Exposure to or hands-on experience with:
• Formal verification
• Hardware emulation or acceleration
• Software-driven verification
• Demonstrated ability to evaluate, debug, and improve verification flows and methodologies.
