The Design Verification Engineer (Silicon Engineering) joins a cross-disciplinary team to develop next-generation ASICs for space and ground infrastructures. This role focuses on digital ASIC verification at the block and system levels to expand the performance of the Starlink network. Key responsibilities include writing and reviewing test plans, developing SystemVerilog testbench infrastructure using both UVM and non-UVM methodologies, and executing regressions to achieve code and functional coverage closure. The engineer will also automate test case generation and contribute to pre-silicon verification, chip bring-up, and post-silicon validation. Required technical skills include experience with design verification, testbench development, and object-oriented programming. Candidates should also possess proficiency in Python and MATLAB for automation, along with knowledge of constrained random verification and RTL design.
