TL;DR · | Microsoft Careers

As a Senior Verification Engineer in the Compute Silicon and Manufacturing Engineering (CSME) team, you will play a pivotal role in ensuring the reliability and efficiency of Microsoft’s cloud hardware infrastructure. Your responsibilities include collaborating with architects and design engineers to develop comprehensive verification strategies and test plans for system-on-chip (SoC) designs, writing and debugging constrained random stimulus, scoreboards, and assertions, and developing UVM components to interface between test code and simulation environments. You will also define functional coverage metrics, debug failures, and mentor team members while fostering a collaborative environment that leverages industry-standard tools like System Verilog and C++. With expertise in SoC design verification, ARM architecture, and AI-based productivity tools, you will contribute to the continuous improvement of cloud infrastructure at scale.

What you'll do

  • Develop test plans covering verification strategy, requirements, and environments for system-on-chip (SOC) level verification.
  • Write and debug constrained random stimulus, scoreboards, checkers, and assertions to ensure design correctness.
  • Create Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) components interfacing between test code and simulation environments.
  • Define and implement functional coverage metrics to drive coverage closure in verification processes.
  • Mentor team members and collaborate on the reuse of verification components across teams.

What we're looking for

  • Doctorate in relevant field with 1+ year of experience or Master's with 4+ years, or Bachelor's with 5+ years.
  • 3+ years of experience in Computer Architecture and SoC design verification using System Verilog.
  • 3+ years developing and using UVM for verification environments.
  • Proven track record delivering complex SOC testbenches and simulation environments.
  • Experience with ARM architecture, AMBA protocols, and multiple product cycles from definition to Silicon.
  • Expertise in PCIe/CXL Controller/PHY IPs, I/O virtualization, or coherent fabric IPs and protocols.
  • Knowledge of full chip/system level flows and proficiency with AI-based verification tools.
