Design Engineer III

Job Description

Onsite 3 days in Sunnyvale, CA

Job Description
About the role: Design Verification engineer for wearables silicon accelerator IPs - testbench development, coverage-driven verification, RTL debug, and power/performance measurement.
Responsibilities
Develop and execute verification plans for RTL blocks/IPs across the subsystem.
Build and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches; write directed and constrained-random tests.
Drive functional coverage and assertion (SVA) closure; run and triage regressions.
Perform power/performance measurement across design stages using PPA RTL, PtPx tool; correlate results with post silicon and feed back to design/power-modeling teams.
Build power/perf dashboard for tracking and publishing
Debug RTL failures (waveform/Verdi) and provide actionable feedback to the design team/verification team.
Contribute to automation of verification/regression and power/performance measurement flows (Python).

Minimum Qualifications
Proven SystemVerilog + UVM verification experience (testbench architecture, sequences, drivers/monitors).
Functional coverage, constrained-random, and assertion-based verification (SVA); coverage closure.
Strong RTL debug with industry simulators (VCS / Xcelium / Questa) and waveform tools (Verdi).
Working knowledge of RTL design principles and digital design fundamentals.
Proficiency in Python (or Perl) scripting for automation.

Preferred Qualifications
Experience with power measurement tools - PrimeTime PX (PTPX) or equivalent (e.g., PrimePower).
Low-power / power-aware verification (UPF, power-aware sim) in advanced nodes (7nm and below).
Formal verification and/or emulation (Palladium / Zebu) experience.
Familiarity with the RTL-to-GDSII flow.
Data analysis / ML approaches for coverage or debug triage.
Previous Meta experience preferred.

Education: BS in Electrical/Computer Engineering or Computer Science required; MS preferred (not required).
