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, debug corner-case failures, and verify low-power design intent using UPF. 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 ensure end-to-end WiFi and Bluetooth traffic flows from the subsystem level through top-level SOC integration. Utilizing SystemVerilog, UVM, and Formal Verification, you will also explore AI-assisted verification for test generation and closure. This role addresses complex hardware challenges including boot sequencing, power-cycling, and hardware-firmware interactions for large SOC systems with embedded processor cores.

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.
  • Execute formal verification methods as required by specific project needs.
  • Make independent methodology decisions to determine the best verification approach for your area.
  • Verify end-to-end WiFi and Bluetooth traffic flows from subsystem to top-level SOC integration.
  • Implement and optimize AI-assisted verification techniques for test generation and debugging.
  • Provide post-silicon bring-up support for projects as needed.

What we're looking for

  • BS degree and a minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Proven track record of working full ASIC cycles 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).
