Job Overview: Senior Digital Verification Engineer

You will lead the development and execution of robust, reusable UVM verification environments for our products, ensuring functional ‑ coverage and first ‑ silicon success.

By driving verification strategy, automating large ‑ scale regression flows, and mentoring the verification team, the role directly safeguards the quality of high ‑ performance ASIC designs.

The work spans building scalable test ‑ bench architectures, integrating Cadence verification tools, and collaborating cross ‑ functionally with design and software teams to close verification gaps before RTL freeze.

Job Responsibilities:

  • Define and implement robust, scalable UVM test ‑ bench architectures for complex digital IPs
  • Create and maintain reusable verification components (sequencers, drivers, monitors, scoreboards, coverage models)
  • Develop directed, random, and constrained ‑ random test cases to achieve 100 % functional coverage and 100 % code coverage on target designs
  • Lead root ‑ cause analysis of simulation failures, performance bottlenecks, and silicon bring ‑ up bugs
  • Coordinate with design teams to close verification gaps before RTL freeze
  • Contribute to internal verification guidelines, templates, and training materials
  • Mentor junior verification engineers (T1 ‑ T3) and provide technical guidance on UVM, test ‑ bench design, and debugging techniques
  • Participate in design/verification reviews, providing constructive feedback and risk assessment

Job Qualifications:

  • B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
  • 7 ‑ 10 years of professional digital verification experience, including ≥ 5 years with UVM on ASIC or FPGA projects
  • Proficiency in SystemVerilog/UVM
  • Strong hands ‑ on experience with Cadence Xcelium
  • Knowledge of synthesis ‑ aware verification (e.g., constraint ‑ driven random verification, coverage ‑ driven closure)
  • Deep understanding of functional coverage, assertions (SVA), formal verification, and constrained ‑ random verification
  • Comfortable with large ‑ scale simulation environments, waveform analysis, and performance profiling
  • Excellent communication, problem ‑ solving, and leadership capabilities
  • Ability to influence cross ‑ functional teams and mentor junior engineers.

Additional Skills/Preferences:

  • Hands ‑ on with verification IP (VIP) development and integration
  • Exposure to low ‑ power verification (e.g., power ‑ aware UVM, clock gating checks)
  • Scripting in Python, TCL, Makefile or Bash for automation
  • Familiarity with Git and CI/CD tools
