TL;DR · Design Verification Lead

The Design Verification Lead is a Senior Engineering Leader role within the Silicon Design Verification team. You will provide technical leadership to high-caliber verification teams, managing project execution and mentoring engineers to ensure first-pass success for cutting-edge silicon IPs. Your daily responsibilities include architecting scalable verification strategies, defining functional and power-aware verification plans, and collaborating with architecture, design, and software teams. You will utilize SystemVerilog and UVM methodologies to drive test coverage, formal verification, and assertion-based verification. Key technical skills include experience with low-power design verification using UPF methodology, mixed-signal interactions, and high-speed interfaces like PCIe, USB, and DDR. You will solve complex system-on-chip design problems by implementing constrained-random testbenches and regression-driven verification strategies to meet performance, power, and area targets.

What you'll do

  • Lead, grow, and mentor a team of verification engineers through technical guidance and performance management.
  • Define and implement scalable, reusable, and efficient verification strategies for silicon IPs.
  • Develop functional and power-aware verification plans using SystemVerilog and UVM methodologies.
  • Drive verification requirements, planning, and environment implementation in collaboration with architecture and design teams.
  • Execute test coverage, formal verification, and assertion-based verification to ensure first-pass silicon success.
  • Review team members' work and provide technical leadership to foster a culture of innovation.
  • Refine verification strategies continuously to improve efficiency, speed, and completeness.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum of 20 years relevant industry experience.
  • 12+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC verification, including at least 3 years in a senior leadership role managing teams of engineers (preferred).
  • Deep expertise in SystemVerilog, UVM, and modern verification methodologies (preferred).
  • Experience with post-silicon validation and debug (preferred).
  • Hands-on experience with low-power design verification, including UPF methodology and power intent validation (preferred).
  • Background in high-speed interfaces, formal verification, and constrained-random testbenches (preferred).
  • Experience leading multi-site teams and cross-functional collaboration with architecture, design, and software groups (preferred).
