Senior ASIC Design Verification Engineer

Job Description

We are looking for a Senior ASIC Design Verification Engineer to contribute to the verification of complex digital and mixed-signal ASIC, SoC, subsystem, IP, and FPGA designs. This role is ideal for an experienced verification engineer who enjoys building robust verification environments, developing high-quality tests and coverage models, debugging complex issues, and collaborating closely with cross-functional engineering teams.

Job Summary

As a Senior ASIC Design Verification Engineer, you will be responsible for developing and executing verification plans for complex ASIC, SoC, subsystem, IP, and FPGA designs. You will work with architects, RTL designers, analog/mixed-signal engineers, firmware developers, and other verification engineers to ensure designs meet functional, performance, and quality requirements.

This is a hands-on technical role focused on verification environment development, test creation, coverage-driven verification, regression debug, and verification closure. You will contribute to reusable verification infrastructure and help improve verification efficiency across projects.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute verification plans for ASIC, SoC, subsystem, IP, and FPGA designs.

• Build and maintain verification environments using SystemVerilog, UVM, constrained-random testing, directed testing, and assertion-based verification.

• Create and enhance testbench components, including agents, monitors, drivers, scoreboards, sequences, checkers, and coverage models.

• Develop directed and constrained-random test cases to verify functional requirements and corner cases.

• Analyze design specifications and collaborate with architects and RTL designers to identify verification requirements.

• Drive verification closure using functional coverage, code coverage, assertion coverage, regression results, and bug tracking.

• Debug RTL, testbench, and integration issues using simulation logs, waveforms, coverage data, and EDA debug tools.

• Participate in design and verification reviews, providing technical feedback on specifications, test plans, coverage models, and verification results.

• Support regression development, automation, and continuous improvement of verification flows.

• Work closely with design, firmware, analog/mixed-signal, FPGA, and program teams to resolve issues and achieve project milestones.

• Contribute to verification methodology improvements, reusable verification components, and project-level best practices.

• Mentor junior engineers as appropriate through code reviews, debug support, and technical guidance.
