TL;DR · Custom SOC IP Verification Engineer

As a Senior Custom SOC IP Verification Engineer, you will join the team to verify next-generation SoC and IP solutions. You will be responsible for the ASIC design verification of fabric and interconnect IP blocks as well as full chip integration, specifically covering DMA, routing, arbitration, ordering, flow control, and protocol compliance. Your daily work involves developing test plans using UVM-based environments, designing constrained-random and directed SystemVerilog testbenches for network-on-chip topologies, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure first-time right verification. The role requires expertise in SystemVerilog, UVM, and scripting languages like Python, Perl, or TCL. You will address complex technical challenges involving on-chip fabrics and interconnect subsystems, ensuring robust connectivity across multi-agent SoC designs while navigating various development cycles and client requirements for high-performance hardware components.

What you'll do

  • Verify fabric and interconnect IP blocks including DMA, routing, arbitration, ordering, flow control, and protocol compliance.
  • Develop and implement UVM-based test plans for both IP-level and system-level SoC scenarios.
  • Design and implement constrained-random and directed SystemVerilog testbenches for NoC topologies and multi-agent integrations.
  • Drive the development of silicon and platform verification strategies for fabric and interconnect subsystems.
  • Perform performance verification including bandwidth and latency analysis for interconnect fabrics.
  • Execute assertion-based verification (SVA) to verify fabric and protocol properties.
  • Ensure first-time right verification by coordinating with Architecture, Software, Design, Emulation, and Post-Silicon teams.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 8+ years of experience in ASIC verification with a focus on fabric, interconnect, or network-on-chip at IP and full chip levels.
  • Strong knowledge of SystemVerilog and UVM methodology.
  • Hands-on experience with industry-standard interconnect and bus protocols such as AMBA AXI or CHI.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages including Python, Perl, or TCL.
  • Knowledge of performance verification and bandwidth/latency analysis for interconnect fabrics (preferred).
  • Exposure to verification IPs for bus protocols or emulation platforms like Palladium or Veloce (preferred).
  • Experience in GPU or AI accelerator SoC interconnect verification (preferred).
