Lead ASIC Verification Engineer(Typically, 6 to 10 years of industry experience)The Digital Engineering group is a highly collaborative organization comprising experienced ASIC and Systems engineers with deep expertise across architecture, logic design, verification, physical design, hardware–software co‑simulation, FPGA prototyping, and firmware development. The team brings together decades of cumulative industry experience and operates at the forefront of modern semiconductor design.We leverage advanced semiconductor process technologies and industry‑standard, state‑of‑the‑art EDA tools to deliver high‑quality silicon solutions. Our scope spans the full SoC development lifecycle, from architectural definition through verification, validation, and final product delivery.Responsibilities
  • Implement and execute verification for IP blocks and sub‑systems using SystemVerilog and UVM, following established verification methodologies and plans.
  • Develop and enhance UVM components, including agents, monitors, drivers, scoreboards, assertions, and functional coverage models.
  • Author and execute test plans and testcases, including directed and constrained‑random tests, to validate functional correctness and corner cases.
  • Contribute to verification closure, analyzing coverage results, identifying gaps, and adding tests or coverage points to meet sign‑off requirements.
  • Participate in low‑power verification, assisting with UPF/CPF integration and validating power‑related scenarios under guidance.
  • Assist in HW–FW co‑verification, including development and execution of C/C++ tests for simulation or prototyping platforms.
  • Debug RTL issues, collaborating with design engineers to resolve functional mismatches, assertion failures, and coverage holes.
  • Execute and maintain regressions, triaging failures and ensuring stability of the verification environment.
  • Review specifications and design documents, raising questions and identifying potential verification risks early in the development cycle.
  • Work closely with peers and senior engineers, contribute to team deliverables and continuously improving verification quality.
Qualifications / Skills
  • Hands‑on experience in ASIC/IP verification, with at least one or more tape‑out cycles in a professional semiconductor environment.
  • Good proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM, with experience developing test benches and testcases.
  • Working knowledge of core verification concepts, including:
  • Test planning and execution
  • Directed and constrained‑random stimulus
  • Functional and code coverage
  • Basic assertion‑based verification
  • Introduction to low‑power verification concepts
  • Exposure to C/C++ programming for verification or HW–FW interaction.
  • Basic scripting skills (Python, Perl, or similar) for automation and debug support.
  • Experience using version control and issue‑tracking tools, such as Git and Jira.
  • Strong problem‑solving skills, attention to detail, and willingness to learn, with the ability to take ownership of assigned verification tasks.
  • Effective written and verbal communication skills, and ability to work well within a team environment.
