TL;DR · Wireless PHY Design Verification Engineer

The Wireless PHY Design Verification Engineer joins the Wireless Connectivity team to ensure first-time-right silicon success for next-generation WiFi SoCs. This role involves verifying sophisticated WiFi PHY digital systems, including time and frequency-domain processing, hardware acceleration, calibration engines, and protocol implementations. You will architect verification strategies for high-rate, low-power, and multi-link wireless features, owning subsystem verification from test planning through coverage closure. Key responsibilities include building UVM environments, bus functional models, assertions, and DPIs to utilize algorithm models. You will implement constrained random scenarios and apply data-driven verification closure using coverage tracking and metrics. Required skills include SystemVerilog, UVM, and experience with ASIC verification flows, DSP algorithms, and IEEE 802.11 protocols to solve complex wireless communication and digital system challenges.

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 and environment bring-up through feature closure.
  • Build UVM testbench environments, assertions, and infrastructure using DPIs to utilize algorithm models.
  • Architect and implement constrained random scenarios to exercise complex protocol interactions.
  • Apply data-driven verification closure through coverage tracking, issue tracking, and gap identification.
  • Drive verification strategy with cross-functional teams to achieve coverage closure across complex domains.

What we're looking for

  • BS degree and a minimum of 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/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 utilizing DPIs, and DSP algorithm verification strategies (preferred).
