TL;DR · Design Verification Engineer

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 both the block and system levels to expand the performance and capabilities of the Starlink network. Key responsibilities include writing and reviewing test plans, developing SystemVerilog testbench infrastructure using UVM and non-UVM methodologies, and executing test plans 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 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.
