TL;DR · SOC Design Verification Engineer

Role Posting Log in to save

The SOC Design Verification Engineer joins the wireless silicon development team to perform pre-silicon RTL verification at the block, subsystem, and top-level SOC levels. You will own a verification scope 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 failures, and verifying low-power design intent using UPF. You will work on components like the Power Management Unit, CPU subsystem, DMA, PCIe, and bus fabric, while verifying end-to-end WiFi and Bluetooth traffic flows. Required skills include SystemVerilog, Verilog, and UVM, alongside knowledge of digital logic design 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.
Write 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).
