TL;DR · ASIC Design Verification Engineer

The ASIC Design Verification Engineer joins the Common Hardware Group to develop revolutionary data center solutions. In this role, you will architect and maintain block, cluster, and top-level Design Verification infrastructure while building scalable test benches from scratch. You will create and execute comprehensive test plans using constraint-random and directed stimulus to ensure robust verification coverage for complex chips. Key responsibilities include qualifying RTL designs through Gate Level Simulations, debugging issues during post-silicon bring-up, and supporting design testing in emulation environments. You must possess expertise in System Verilog and UVM methodology, along with scripting skills in Perl and Python. The role requires domain knowledge in protocols such as PCIe, CXL, Ethernet, RDMA, DDR, or TCP to solve hardware integration problems for switching, routing, and wireless products.

What you'll do

  • Architect, develop, and maintain block, cluster, and top-level Design Verification environment infrastructure.
  • Build Design Verification environments from scratch for block and cluster levels.
  • Develop and enhance test plans using both constraint-random and directed stimulus.
  • Implement and review code and functional coverage to ensure comprehensive verification.
  • Qualify RTL design by running Gate Level Simulations on netlists.
  • Debug issues during post-silicon bring-up and integration with designers and software teams.
  • Support design testing within emulation environments.

What we're looking for

  • Must have a Bachelor's degree plus 5 years of ASIC experience, a Master's degree plus 3 years, or a PhD.
  • Must have experience in SystemVerilog and UVM methodology.
  • Must have hands-on experience building reusable and scalable test benches from scratch.
  • Must have experience with scripting using Perl and/or Python.
  • Experience with forwarding logic, parsers, or P4 (preferred).
  • Experience using emulation platforms such as Veloce, Palladium, Zebu, or HAPS (preferred).
  • Knowledge of formal verification tools such as IEV or VC Formal (preferred).
  • Domain knowledge in protocols such as PCIe, CXL, Ethernet, RDMA, DDR, or TCP (preferred).
