Verification Engineer - ASIC/SoC

Job Title: Verification Engineer – ASIC/SoC

Location: Sunnyvale, CA

Job Responsibility:

Support the functional verification of Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and Systems-on-Chip (SoCs). Perform moderately complex verification assignments using established methodologies under general supervision. Senior verification engineers review test plans, significant technical changes, and completed results.

Responsibilities

• Review design specifications and implement assigned portions of block-level, subsystem, and full-chip verification plans.

• Develop and modify System Verilog testbenches, test sequences, checkers, and functional coverage models within existing Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) environments.

• Create directed and constrained-random tests to validate assigned design features, interfaces, and operating scenarios.

• Execute simulations and regression tests, analyze logs and waveforms, and investigate functional failures.

• Collaborate with Register Transfer Level (RTL) designers to reproduce defects, verify corrections, and document results.

• Analyze functional and code coverage, identify gaps, and implement additional tests with senior engineer review.

• Maintain reusable verification components and implement approved improvements to existing verification infrastructure.

• Support verification of embedded processors, CPU interfaces, and interactions between SoC components.

• Coordinate with architecture, RTL design, FPGA, and emulation teams to clarify requirements and resolve assigned verification issues.

• Report verification progress and escalate complex architectural or methodology issues to senior engineers.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a directly related field, or its foreign equivalent.

• Minimum of two years of experience in ASIC design verification.

• Working knowledge of System Verilog, object-oriented programming, and UVM.

• Experience developing or modifying testbenches and performing simulation, regression testing, debugging, and coverage analysis.

• Understanding of digital logic, CPU or SoC architecture, and embedded-processor verification concepts.

• Familiarity with verification workflows for large chip designs.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, documentation, and communication skills
