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 multi-agent SoC integrations and industry-standard bus protocols such as AMBA AXI or CHI to ensure robust connectivity across high-performance interconnect subsystems within complex silicon designs.

What you'll do

  • Verify fabric and interconnect IP blocks as well as full chip integration including DMA, routing, arbitration, and flow control.
  • Develop and implement UVM-based test plans for both IP-level and system-level 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 interconnect subsystems.
  • Ensure compliance with industry-standard bus protocols such as AMBA AXI or CHI.
  • Perform performance verification including bandwidth and latency analysis for interconnect fabrics.
  • Execute assertion-based verification (SVA) to verify fabric and protocol properties.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 6+ years of experience in ASIC verification with a focus on fabric, interconnect, or network-on-chip at IP and full chip levels.
  • Deep knowledge of SystemVerilog and UVM methodology.
  • Hands-on experience with industry-standard interconnect and bus protocols such as AMBA AXI or CHI.
  • Familiarity with SoC architectures, NoC topologies, and multi-initiator/multi-target interconnect designs.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages including Python, Perl, or TCL.
  • Knowledge of performance verification, bandwidth/latency analysis, and assertion-based verification (SVA).
  • Experience with emulation platforms or verification IPs for bus protocols is desirable.
