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 state-of-the-art WiFi SoCs. This role involves verifying sophisticated WiFi PHY digital systems, including time and frequency-domain processing, hardware acceleration, calibration engines, and protocol implementations. The engineer will architect verification strategies, build UVM environments, develop bus functional models, and create constrained random scenarios for high-rate, low-power, and multi-link wireless features. Key responsibilities include owning subsystem verification from test planning through coverage closure using data-driven metrics. Required skills include SystemVerilog, UVM, and experience with ASIC verification flows, DSP algorithms, and IEEE 802.11 protocols. The work focuses on solving complex technical challenges in multi-gigabit wireless technology to enable advanced applications across a diverse product ecosystem.

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.
  • Create UVM testbench components, assertions, and DPIs to utilize algorithm models.
  • Architect and implement constrained random scenarios to exercise complex protocol interactions.
  • Apply data-driven verification closure using 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 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 utilizing DPIs, and DSP algorithm verification strategies (preferred).
