TL;DR · Wireless SOC Design Verification Engineer

As a Senior Wireless SOC Design Verification Engineer, you will join the hardware team to own the end-to-end verification scope for the N1 wireless chip. You will partner with design teams early to shape verification plans before RTL lands, managing everything from test planning to signoff. Your daily work involves verifying the Power Management Unit, CPU subsystem, on-chip debug infrastructure, PCIe, bus fabric, and peripherals like SPI and UART. You will use SystemVerilog, UVM, and UPF to verify low-power design intent and end-to-end WiFi and Bluetooth traffic flows. Additionally, you will utilize formal verification methods and explore AI-assisted verification for test generation and debug. This role solves complex integration challenges across block and top-level SOC systems, including boot sequencing and hardware-firmware interactions.

What you'll do

  • Develop verification plans in partnership with design teams before RTL is finalized.
  • Debug corner-case failures and develop models or proofs to ensure coverage.
  • Verify low-power design intent using UPF across assigned scopes.
  • Verify end-to-end WiFi and Bluetooth traffic flows from subsystem to top-level SOC integration.
  • Make methodology decisions and select appropriate simulation or formal verification approaches.
  • Implement and optimize AI-assisted verification for test generation and debug tasks.
  • Support post-silicon bring-up activities as required by the project.

What we're looking for

  • BS degree and a minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Proven track record of working a full ASIC cycle from concept to tape-out to bring-up.
  • Expertise in SystemVerilog coding and UVM methodology.
  • Hands-on verification experience of PCIe, Bus Fabric, NOC, AHB, or AXI-based bus architecture in UVM (preferred).
  • Experience verifying IP or top-level integration for a WiFi or Bluetooth SOC (preferred).
  • Experience with Formal Verification (preferred).
  • In-depth knowledge of low power design, UPF integration, boot-up, power-cycling, and HW/FW interaction verification (preferred).
  • Experience taping out large SOC systems with embedded processor cores (preferred).
