TL;DR · WiFi MAC Design Verification Engineer

As a WiFi MAC Design Verification Engineer, you will join the Wireless Connectivity Silicon team to ensure high quality and reliability for products incorporating cutting-edge Wi-Fi technology. You will own critical block and sub-system verification of the WIFI MAC by architecting and developing test-benches, defining new verification methodologies, and creating, simulating, and debugging test scenarios. Your daily work involves leading regressions, tracking issues, and driving coverage analysis while collaborating with system architects, design, software, and firmware teams to review specifications. You will utilize SystemVerilog, UVM, and OOP, alongside AI-based tools like Claude Code to automate workflows and accelerate productivity. The role focuses on the technical challenges of IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN specifications, complex IP and subsystems, and fabric protocols within a sophisticated System-on-Chip environment to solve complex wireless connectivity problems.

What you'll do

  • Own the verification of critical blocks and sub-systems within the Wi-Fi MAC.
  • Architect and develop test-benches, environments, and new verification methodologies.
  • Utilize AI-based tools to automate testbench development and accelerate verification workflows.
  • Create, simulate, and debug complex test scenarios for wireless protocols.
  • Lead regression testing cycles and manage issue tracking processes.
  • Drive coverage analysis and ensure full closure of verification goals.
  • Review specifications and architecture with cross-functional teams to define verification plans.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree and 10 years of relevant experience.
  • Advanced knowledge of standard ASIC design and verification flows.
  • Proven track record in leading verification methodology for clusters, subsystems, or full-chip designs.
  • Deep proficiency in SystemVerilog, UVM, and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP).
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to debug complex design issues.
  • Knowledge of Wireless Connectivity or MAC verification is preferred.
  • Experience using AI-based tools for verification workflows and automation is preferred.
