TL;DR · Wireless MAC Design Verification Engineer

The Wireless MAC Design Verification Engineer joins the wireless silicon development team to perform pre-silicon RTL verification of the wireless MAC and its interfaces within the wireless SoC. The engineer will collaborate with DV methodologists, designers, and communication systems engineers to develop reusable test benches and verification environments using metric-driven methodology. Key responsibilities include creating verification plans from specifications, building UVM libraries, executing directed and constrained random tests, and managing bug tracking. The role requires proficiency in Verilog, SystemVerilog, UVM, and SystemVerilog Assertion, along with shell, Python, and Perl scripting. Candidates must possess experience with ASIC verification flows, coverage models, and Palladium or FPGA validation. The work focuses on wireless protocols like Bluetooth, UWB, WLAN, or Zigbee to ensure high-quality, energy-efficient silicon design.

What you'll do

  • Create verification plans from specifications to achieve specific coverage targets for the MAC subsystem.
  • Build block and subsystem level test benches using UVM libraries and best-in-class DV methodology.
  • Develop and execute directed and constrained random tests to identify and debug design failures.
  • Manage bug tracking and work with designers to drive the closure of identified issues.
  • Create and analyze coverage models to identify gaps and add necessary test cases.
  • Utilize machine learning and AI technologies to identify design issues and ensure verification quality.
  • Support MAC subsystem validation using Palladium emulators and FPGA platforms.
  • Improve overall DV methodology and verification flows through continuous process refinement.

What we're looking for

  • BS degree and a minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Advanced knowledge of Verilog, SystemVerilog, UVM, and SystemVerilog Assertion.
  • Knowledge and experience of ASIC verification flows including test bench development, constrained random testing, and code/functional coverage.
  • Verification experience of one or more of the following: MAC, PHY, DMA, timer, AMBA bus and fabric, or encryption/decryption engine.
  • 7+ years of verification experience of wireless/wired communication block/subsystem (preferred).
  • Knowledge of wireless protocols such as Bluetooth, UWB, WLAN, or Zigbee (preferred).
  • Proficient in shell, Python, and Perl scripting (preferred).
  • Experience using AI technologies in data mining/analysis (preferred).
