Verification Engineer – Silicon / Semiconductor

We are seeking a Verification Engineer to join our silicon development team, responsible for ensuring the functional correctness and quality of complex ASIC/SoC designs. This role is critical in validating next-generation chips used in high-performance computing, AI/ML, networking, or consumer electronics.

You will work closely with design, architecture, and validation teams to develop robust verification environments and drive coverage closure.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute verification plans for ASIC/SoC components and subsystems
  


• Build and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM-based testbenches
  


• Create directed and constrained-random tests to validate design functionality
  


• Debug and root-cause RTL issues in collaboration with design engineers
  


• Drive functional coverage and ensure verification completeness
  


• Perform regression testing and analyze results for failures and gaps
  


• Develop and use assertions (SVA) for design verification
  


• Contribute to verification methodology improvements and automation
  


• Support post-silicon validation teams with test scenarios and debug insights
  

Required Qualifications (MUST-HAVE)

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
  


• 3–10+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC verification
  


• Strong expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM methodology
  


• Experience with RTL design concepts (Verilog/VHDL)
  


• Solid debugging skills in simulation environments
  


• Experience with EDA tools (e.g., Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium, Mentor Questa)
  


• Understanding of functional coverage and verification metrics
  

Preferred Qualifications (NICE-TO-HAVE)

• Experience with formal verification tools
  


• Knowledge of protocols (PCIe, Ethernet, AXI, DDR, USB, etc.)
  


• Scripting skills in Python, Perl, or Tcl
  


• Experience with emulation or FPGA prototyping
  


• Exposure to low-power verification (UPF/CPF)
  


• Background in AI/ML accelerators or GPU architectures
  

Key Skills

• Strong problem-solving and debugging mindset
  


• Ability to work in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment
  


• Clear communication with design and architecture teams
  


• Attention to detail and quality
  

Typical Day-to-Day

• Running regressions and debugging failing test cases
  


• Writing new UVM test sequences and coverage models
  


• Collaborating with RTL designers on bug fixes
  


• Reviewing verification plans and coverage reports
  


• Participating in design and verification reviews
