TL;DR · ASIC Design Verification Engineer

As an ASIC Design Verification Engineer within the ASICS Engineering group, you will manage the complete verification lifecycle from system-level concept to tape out and post-silicon support. Your daily responsibilities include comprehensive pre-silicon test planning for digital power IPs, developing testbenches using advanced methodologies, and creating coverage and assertion models. You will also perform formal verification, develop automation to improve efficiency, and deploy power-aware UPF verification flows. The role requires proficiency in SystemVerilog, UVM, C++, and Python while addressing complex technical challenges involving SOC subsystems, cache, and DDR memory protocols. You will work on critical hardware components including DDR phy and PASIM simulations while performing performance and power verification. This position focuses on the technical execution of digital power IP verification to ensure robust functionality before final silicon production.

What you'll do

  • Perform comprehensive pre-silicon test planning for digital power IPs.
  • Develop testbenches using SystemVerilog and UVM methodologies.
  • Create coverage models and assertion models for verification.
  • Execute formal verification and property checking tasks.
  • Deploy power-aware UPF verification flows and methodologies.
  • Develop automation tools to improve overall verification efficiency.
  • Verify complex SoC subsystems including caches and DDR memory protocols.
  • Support the full lifecycle from system-level concept to tape out and post-silicon debug.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, or a related field with 2+ years of experience, OR a Master's degree with 1+ year of experience, OR a PhD.
  • Minimum 3 years of DV experience using UVM and assertion-based verification technologies.
  • Experience verifying complex SOCs or SOC subsystems.
  • Experience with cache and DDR memory protocol verification including the use of memory verification VIPs.
  • Proficiency in SystemVerilog, UVM, Assertion, C++, and Python.
  • Exposure to formal verification, PASIM simulations, and performance and power verification.
  • Exposure to firmware/driver development using C++.
  • Experience with multiple successful tapeouts from conception to post-silicon debug.
