TL;DR · Wireless SOC Verification Engineer

As a Wireless SOC Verification Engineer, you will join the Wireless SOC team to verify complex systems at the heart of mobile networking. You will perform pre-silicon RTL verification for both blocks and top-level SOCs while collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure tape-out readiness. Your daily responsibilities include creating coverage-driven verification plans from specifications, architecting highly reusable UVM testbenches, and integrating multi-instance VIPs and sub-system test suites. You will work on high-speed layered protocols, power management designs using UPF simulations, and complex hardware-firmware interactions. The role requires expertise in SystemVerilog and the UVM methodology to validate components like PCIe, memory controllers, and bus architectures. This position addresses the technical challenges of multi-chip SOC debug architecture, low-power design schemes, and ensuring robust performance for wireless protocol chip requirements within a large-scale silicon design environment.

What you'll do

  • Create coverage-driven verification plans from technical specifications to meet defined coverage targets.
  • Architect highly reusable UVM-based testbenches and integrate complex multi-instance VIPs into the SOC level.
  • Perform pre-silicon RTL verification for both individual blocks and top-level SOC designs.
  • Execute power management verifications using low-power methodologies and UPF simulations for power up/down scenarios.
  • Develop and implement directed test cases to verify high-speed layered protocols and wireless requirements.
  • Integrate and verify complex subsystems including PCIe, memory controllers, and multi-processor systems.
  • Collaborate with architecture and firmware teams to resolve hardware/firmware interaction issues.
  • Improve verification metrics and methodologies in coordination with DV methodology architects.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science degree and at least 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Proven track record of working a full ASIC cycle from concept to tape-out and bring-up.
  • Expertise in SystemVerilog coding and UVM methodology.
  • Experience taping out large SOC systems with embedded processor cores (preferred).
  • Hands-on verification experience of PCIe, Bus Fabric, NOC, AHB, and AXI based bus architectures in a UVM environment (preferred).
  • Experience with Formal Verification (preferred).
  • In-depth knowledge and experience with low power design, UPF integration, and HW/FW interaction verification (preferred).
  • Excellent communication and problem-solving skills (preferred).
