The Work

• You’ll drive the functional verification of IP, subsystems, and full chips, ensuring that our designs meet the highest standards of quality.
• Build and maintain SystemVerilog and UVM environments, focusing on functional coverage and assertions to closure.
• Debug failures to root cause across stimulus, DUT, and environment, collaborating closely with design and architecture teams.
• Engage in protocol and interface verification for standards like PCIe, DDR4/DDR5, Ethernet, and more, ensuring robust performance across various platforms.
• You’ll also have the opportunity to work on DFT, security verification, and FPGA or emulation verification as the team grows.

What You'll Need

• You’ve hands-on experience with functional verification of real silicon, demonstrating your ability to debug to root cause across stimulus, DUT, and environment.
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM, with a proven track record of building or materially extending testbenches.
• Familiarity with industry simulators like Questa, VCS, or Xcelium, and experience with at least one protocol worked end-to-end.
• You’ve successfully driven functional coverage and SVA assertions as a practice, not just a checklist.

Even Better If

• You have experience with full-chip or subsystem scope beyond IP and block level.
• Familiarity with gate-level simulation, low-power UPF, and CDC.
• Exposure to formal verification on real properties and VIP-based environments.

Who Thrives Here

• You are someone who enjoys tackling complex verification challenges and thrives in a fast-paced environment where you can take ownership of your work.
• You communicate effectively with cross-functional teams, ensuring alignment and collaboration throughout the verification process.
• You have a proactive mindset, ready to build trust and rapport with colleagues, especially in a team that values innovation and quality.
