TL;DR · PHY Design Verification Engineer

JOB TITLE: PHY Design Verification Engineer The PHY Design Verification Engineer joins the wireless silicon development team to perform pre-silicon RTL verification of the wireless PHY and its interfaces within the wireless communication SoC. This role involves collaborating with DV methodologists, designers, and communication systems engineers to develop reusable test benches and verification environments using metric-driven verification. Key responsibilities include creating verification plans from specifications, building block-level test benches with reference models, and executing directed and constrained random tests. The engineer will use Verilog, SystemVerilog, UVM, and SystemVerilog Assertion, alongside shell, Python, and Perl scripting. The role also utilizes Matlab, Palladium, FPGA, and AI technologies for data mining. The work focuses on ensuring high design quality for wireless protocols including Bluetooth, UWB, WLAN, and Zigbee.

What you'll do

  • Create verification plans from specifications and refine them to achieve specific coverage targets.
  • Build reusable block and subsystem level test benches using best-in-class DV methodology.
  • Develop and execute directed and constrained random tests to identify and debug design failures.
  • Create and analyze coverage models to identify gaps and add necessary test cases.
  • Use machine learning and AI technologies to identify design issues and ensure verification quality.
  • Support PHY subsystem validation using Palladium and FPGA platforms.
  • Improve overall DV methodology and verification flows through continuous process refinement.

What we're looking for

  • BS degree and a minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Verification experience of wireless or wired communication blocks and subsystems.
  • Advanced knowledge of Verilog, SystemVerilog, UVM, and SystemVerilog Assertion.
  • Excellent knowledge of ASIC verification flows, including test bench development, constrained random testing, and coverage.
  • Experience using Matlab/C reference models and bit-accurate verification (preferred).
  • Knowledge of wireless protocols such as Bluetooth, UWB, WLAN, or Zigbee (preferred).
  • Proficiency in shell, Python, and Perl scripting (preferred).
  • Experience using AI technologies in data mining or analysis (preferred).
