ASIC Engineer, Design Verification

The Infra Silicon team at Meta is responsible for designing and building in-house hardware accelerator Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) to enhance Meta's computing with superior capacity and efficiency at lower power and cost. The team focuses on creating domain-specific System on Chips (SoCs) that enable Meta's data centers to execute computationally-intensive workloads, such as video transcoding and AI/ML, with higher performance and lower energy consumption. They are organized into several key areas, including architecture & algorithms, design & micro-architecture, design verification, implementation & backend design, emulation/prototyping, and system on chip (SoC), which collaborate extensively with other teams to deliver comprehensive solutions for various technical domains.

Responsibilities

Define and implement IP/SoC verification plans, build verification test benches to enable IP/sub-system/SoC level verification Develop functional tests based on verification test plan Drive Design Verification to closure based on defined verification metrics on test plan, functional and code coverage Debug, root-cause and resolve functional failures in the design, partnering with the Design team Collaborate with cross-functional teams like Design, Model, Emulation and Silicon validation teams towards ensuring the highest design quality Develop and drive continuous Design Verification improvements using the latest verification methodologies, tools and technologies from the industry
