TL;DR · Wireless PHY Design Verification Engineer

As a Wireless PHY Design Verification Engineer, you will join the Wireless Connectivity team to ensure first-time-right silicon success for sophisticated WiFi SoCs. You will be responsible for verifying complex WiFi PHY digital systems, including time and frequency-domain processing, hardware acceleration, calibration engines, and protocol implementations. Your daily work involves owning subsystem verification from test planning through coverage closure by building UVM environments, bus functional models, assertions, and infrastructure using DPIs to integrate algorithm models. You will architect constrained random scenarios for high-rate, low-power, and multi-link wireless features while applying data-driven methodologies like coverage tracking and gap identification. The role requires expertise in SystemVerilog, UVM, and ASIC verification flows to solve challenges in DSP subsystems and IEEE 802.11 protocols, ensuring robust performance across the product ecosystem through rigorous simulation and debugging.

What you'll do

  • Develop UVM environments and bus functional models for DSP subsystems and IEEE 802.11 protocols.
  • Own subsystem verification from initial test planning through final feature closure.
  • Build testbench infrastructure, assertions, and DPIs to integrate algorithm models.
  • Architect and implement constrained random scenarios to exercise complex protocol interactions.
  • Execute data-driven verification closure using coverage tracking and gap identification metrics.
  • Drive verification strategies with cross-functional teams to achieve coverage across complex domains.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science degree and at least 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Track record of several tapeout cycles of sophisticated designs.
  • Experience verifying wireless, DSP, or digital communication systems.
  • Knowledge of ASIC verification flows with SystemVerilog and UVM including testbench architecture and coverage-driven methodologies.
  • Experience developing verification environments, bringing up complex designs, and debugging simulations.
  • Experience with constrained random testing, functional coverage implementation, and assertion-based verification.
  • Knowledge of IEEE 802.11 wireless protocols, Bluetooth, Cellular, or similar communication systems (preferred).
  • Experience with transaction-level modeling, System models via DPIs, and DSP algorithm verification strategies (preferred).
