Our advanced systems are critical to ensuring the quality and reliability of the next generation of electronics. This role is a key part of the team developing our state-of-the-art 26 GHz RF semiconductor tester platform, leveraging cutting-edge Xilinx Versal ACAP technology to achieve unparalleled performance. Learn more at cohu.com.\nJob Summary\nCohu is seeking a Senior Digital Verification Engineer to join our expanding digital team. This critical role focuses on verifying complex digital designs for our power IC, RF, digital, and mixed-signal test solutions within the Versal ACAP. The successful candidate will utilize advanced tools and methodologies-including SystemVerilog (UVM) and Cadence vManager -to develop and execute comprehensive verification plans that ensure first-pass silicon success for our high-performance hardware.\nKey Responsibilities\nVerification Strategy and Planning\nDevelop and implement detailed, reusable test plans and verification strategies based on design requirements, architecture specifications, and product functional objectives.\nEnvironment Development\nCreate and maintain robust, scalable verification environments using SystemVerilog and the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM).\n Test Development and Execution\nWrite, execute, and manage targeted and constrained-random tests to verify functionality at various abstraction levels (unit, block, and full system).\n Verification IP and Modeling\nDevelop reusable Verification IP (vIP) and Bus Functional Models (BFMs) to accurately simulate and verify interfaces (e.g., AMBA/AXI, I²C, SPI).\nModel-Based Verification\nImplement verification testbenches and comparison points derived from MathWorks Simulink models to ensure algorithms implemented in RTL match golden reference models.\nCoverage and Debugging\nAnalyze test results, identify coverage gaps, and perform root-cause debugging of design issues in collaboration with the RTL design team.\nUtilize platforms such as Cadence vManager for regression management and coverage closure.\n Automation and Infrastructure\nDevelop scripts (e.g., Python) for results processing, automated regression control, and streamlined CI/CD flows.\nDocumentation and Review\nProvide timely progress reports, escalate critical issues when necessary, and actively participate in formal design and verification reviews.\nQualifications and Experience\n Required BackgroundBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.\nStrong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills (both written and verbal).\nGPA of 3.0 or higher.\nProficiency in at least one scripting language (e.g., Python, Perl) for automation and data processing.\nExtensive experience working in a UNIX/Linux development environment.\n\n Technical Expertise (Must Have)Expertise in hardware verification languages: SystemVerilog and UVM.\nExperience with advanced verification tools, particularly Cadence vManager (or similar regression management frameworks).\nStrong foundation in C/C++ for model creation and co-simulation.\nExperience with SoC verification.\nUnderstanding of DSP verification methodologies.\n\nHighly Desired Skills and Domain KnowledgeFamiliarity with Model-Based Design tools such as MathWorks Simulink for developing test vectors and reference models.\nWorking knowledge of embedded SoC fabric and ARM architecture (e.g., Cortex-A series).\nExperience with hardware/software co-verification techniques and validating register maps accessed by firmware.\nPractical experience with the overall FPGA/ASIC development and implementation flow.\nFamiliarity with high-speed protocols and the challenges of verifying designs used for RF/mixed-signal applications.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3863,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Manufacturing","Electronics
