TL;DR · Design Verification Engineer, Silicon Engineering

As a Design Verification Engineer (Silicon Engineering), you will join cross-disciplinary teams to develop next-generation ASICs for deployment in space and ground infrastructures. You will be responsible for digital ASIC verification at both the block and system levels, where you will write and review test plans, develop test harnesses, and create test sequences. Your daily work involves developing SystemVerilog testbench infrastructure using both UVM and non-UVM methodologies to test designs including DSP blocks. You will execute test plans, run regressions, and achieve code and functional coverage closure while automating test case generation using Python and MATLAB programs. This role involves pre-silicon verification, chip bring-up, and post-silicon validation for the Starlink network. Required skills include object-oriented programming, constrained random verification, RTL design knowledge, and proficiency in scripting languages to solve complex hardware challenges.

What you'll do

  • Perform digital ASIC verification at both block and system levels.
  • Write and review test plans while developing test harnesses and sequences.
  • Develop SystemVerilog testbench infrastructure using both UVM and non-UVM methodologies.
  • Execute test plans, run regressions, and achieve code and functional coverage closure.
  • Automate test case generation using Python and MATLAB programs.
  • Contribute to pre-silicon verification, chip bring-up, and post-silicon validation.
  • Verify complex digital designs independently as a hands-on self-starter.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer science, or computer engineering.
  • 1+ years of experience with design verification and test bench development.
  • Experience with verification methodologies such as UVM.
  • Strong object-oriented programming knowledge and coding skills.
  • Experience with constrained random verification and coverage models.
  • Proficiency in scripting languages like Python for automation and MATLAB.
  • Experience in RTL design, chip bring-up, and post-silicon validation.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen, national, lawful permanent resident, or eligible for export control authorizations.
