TL;DR · SOC Design Verification Engineer

The SOC Design Verification Engineer joins the wireless silicon development team to perform pre-silicon RTL verification across block, subsystem, and top-level SOC scopes. You will own the verification lifecycle from initial test planning through coverage closure and signoff, building reusable testbenches and environments using metric-driven methodologies. Key responsibilities include writing directed and constrained-random tests, debugging complex failures, and verifying low-power design intent using UPF. You will work on components such as the Power Management Unit, CPU subsystems, PCIe, and bus fabrics, while verifying end-to-end WiFi and Bluetooth traffic flows. Required skills include SystemVerilog, Verilog, and UVM, alongside knowledge of digital logic and SOC architecture. You will also explore AI-assisted verification techniques to improve productivity within this wireless silicon product area.

What you'll do

  • Develop reusable block, IP, and subsystem-level UVM testbenches for SOC integration.
  • Create directed and constrained-random tests to drive coverage closure.
  • Debug hardware failures and corner cases while managing the bug tracking process.
  • Verify low-power design intent using UPF within assigned scopes.
  • Verify end-to-end WiFi and Bluetooth traffic flows from subsystem to top-level SOC.
  • Build and improve automated regression flows and verification methodologies.
  • Apply AI-assisted verification techniques to improve test generation and debug productivity.
  • Support post-silicon bring-up activities as needed.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum requirement of a bachelor's degree.
  • Hands-on experience across the verification cycle including test planning, testbench implementation, test creation, debug, and coverage closure.
  • Strong SystemVerilog and Verilog skills with solid working knowledge of UVM.
  • Solid problem-solving and debugging skills with constrained-random verification.
  • Understanding of digital logic design, SOC architecture, and microarchitecture.
  • Experience taking at least one ASIC/SOC from concept through tape-out (preferred).
  • Verification experience with PCIe, bus fabric/NOC, or AHB/AXI-based architectures in a UVM environment (preferred).
  • Experience verifying IP or top-level integration for a WiFi or Bluetooth SOC, or knowledge of wireless protocols (preferred).
