TL;DR · SOC Design Verification Engineer

JOB TITLE: SOC Design Verification Engineer The SOC Design Verification Engineer joins the wireless silicon development team to manage 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. Key responsibilities include building reusable UVM testbenches, writing directed and constrained-random tests, and debugging complex failures. You will verify specific components like the Power Management Unit, CPU subsystem, DMA, PCIe, and bus fabric, while ensuring low-power design intent using UPF. The role requires proficiency in SystemVerilog, Verilog, UVM, and formal tools like JasperGold. You will also explore AI-assisted verification techniques to improve productivity. This position addresses the technical challenges of developing energy-efficient wireless silicon, specifically verifying WiFi and Bluetooth traffic flows and boot sequencing.

What you'll do

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

What we're looking for

  • BS degree and a minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Hands-on experience across the verification cycle including test planning, testbench implementation, 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).
