TL;DR · Senior SoC Verification Engineer

The Senior SoC Verification Engineer joins the Solution Engineering team to develop high-performance silicon demonstrators based on Arm IP compute sub-system solutions for mobile, infrastructure, and automotive markets. This role involves reviewing architecture and design specifications to build functional verification strategies, crafting test plans, developing SystemVerilog and Verilog testbenches, and debugging failures. The engineer will also improve verification methodologies and provide guidance to junior team members while collaborating on microarchitecture and system performance. Required expertise includes digital hardware design, Verilog HDL, and experience verifying subsystems for PCIe/CXL, DDRx/LPDDRx, and HBM. Technical skills include low-level programming in C and Assembler. Preferred qualifications include UVM/OVM methodologies, formal verification, clock domain crossing, power-aware verification, and scripting in Perl or Python to support the development of complex Arm SoCs on multiple emulation platforms.

What you'll do

  • Review architecture and design specifications to develop functional verification strategies for SoC projects.
  • Create comprehensive test plans and track progress against project goals.
  • Develop SystemVerilog/Verilog testbenches and tests to verify RTL designs.
  • Debug test failures and resolve technical issues within the SoC integration.
  • Improve and evolve internal verification methodologies used by the engineering team.
  • Verify specific high-speed interfaces including PCIe, CXL, DDRx, LPDDRx, and HBM.
  • Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior team members.
  • Coordinate with project management to align on activities, plans, and schedules.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or a similar field.
  • Over 5 years of experience in design or verification of sophisticated compute subsystems or SoCs.
  • Solid understanding of digital hardware design and Verilog HDL.
  • Experience verifying RTL for SoC projects and developing SystemVerilog/Verilog testbenches.
  • Detailed understanding of current verification strategies for sophisticated SoC development, including software-based techniques.
  • Experience verifying subsystems for PCIe/CXL, DDRx/LPDDRx, and HBM.
  • Low-level programming experience in C and Assembler.
  • Knowledge of Arm-based designs, UVM/OVM methodologies, formal verification, or scripting languages like Python and Perl (preferred).
