TL;DR · Senior Design Verification Engineer

SR Design Verification Engineer The SR Design Verification Engineer joins the Network Technologies Solutions Group to drive verification closure on complex, high-performance ASIC designs within a distributed services platform. This role involves developing robust UVM-based testbench architectures for IP, subsystem, and SoC levels while creating test plans and coverage strategies for networking and data-path components. The engineer will build SystemVerilog components including stimulus generators, scoreboards, and assertions, while performing regression triage and root-cause analysis for RTL and interface issues like PCIe, DDR, and Ethernet. Technical requirements include expert knowledge of SystemVerilog and UVM, proficiency with VCS and Verdi tools, and scripting skills in Python, Tcl, or Shell. The role addresses technical challenges in high-performance networking products, specifically focusing on data-path components, high-speed I/O pipelines, and performance verification for advanced data center networking technology.

What you'll do

  • Develop robust UVM-based testbench architectures for IP, subsystem, and SoC-level verification.
  • Create comprehensive test plans, feature mapping, and coverage strategies for networking and data-path IPs.
  • Build high-quality SystemVerilog components including stimulus generators, scoreboards, checkers, and assertions.
  • Execute verification plans, triage regressions, and debug architectural, functional, and performance issues.
  • Root-cause complex failures across RTL, testbench, and interfaces like PCIe, DDR, and Ethernet.
  • Optimize simulation performance, coverage closure, and verification sign-off methodologies.
  • Develop automation scripts and infrastructure enhancements using Python, Tcl, or Shell.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers within the verification team.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or a related field.
  • Master's degree is preferred.
  • Expert-level knowledge of SystemVerilog and UVM.
  • Experience with SystemVerilog simulators (VCS preferred) and waveform debuggers (Verdi/DVE).
  • Proven experience verifying complex IP/subsystems using test plans, coverage, and constrained-random methodologies.
  • Experience with industry protocols such as PCIe, AXI, Ethernet, DDR, or DMA engines.
  • Scripting skills in Python, Perl, Shell, Tcl, or equivalent for automation and infrastructure.
  • Preferred experience in performance verification, power-aware verification (UPF), formal verification, or FPGA/HAPS-based flows.
