TL;DR · ASIC Design Verification Engineer I

The ASIC Design Verification Engineer I joins the Silicon One team to develop revolutionary data center solutions. Working within a global team of experts, you will collaborate with designers and hardware engineers to verify ASICs during simulation, emulation, and bring-up to ensure seamless integration and optimal performance. Your daily responsibilities include maintaining and enhancing existing verification environments, constructing test benches with scoreboards, agents, sequencers, and monitors, and writing test plans to drive module verification closure. You will ensure complete coverage by reviewing code and functional coverage. Required technical skills include SystemVerilog and UVM methodology, along with scripting in Perl and Python. You will apply these skills to verify complex blocks, clusters, and top-level SoC designs, potentially utilizing Veloce or HAPS tools.

What you'll do

  • Maintain and enhance existing design verification environments.
  • Construct test benches including scoreboards, agents, sequencers, and monitors for new blocks.
  • Write comprehensive test plans and develop specific test cases.
  • Debug regression failures and drive them to module verification closure.
  • Ensure complete verification coverage through code implementation and functional coverage reviews.
  • Verify ASICs in simulation, emulation, and during hardware bring-up.

What we're looking for

  • Must have a Bachelor's degree completed within the past 3 years or expected within the next 12 months.
  • Qualifying education and work experience must be in ASIC Design, Design Verification, or a related field.
  • Experience with SystemVerilog and UVM methodology is required.
  • Experience with scripting using Perl and/or Python is required.
  • Experience using UVM and SystemVerilog for ASIC verification and verifying complex blocks or clusters (preferred).
  • Experience with functional coverage and constrained random DV environments (preferred).
  • Experience in verifying complex blocks, clusters, and top level for SoC (preferred).
  • Experience with Veloce/HAPS (preferred).
