Job Description We are seeking a Senior Staff Verification Engineer to lead and contribute to the functional verification of complex SoC and IP designs for next-generation AI, HPC, and data center products. The ideal candidate has extensive experience in UVM/SystemVerilog, SoC and IP-level verification, and is passionate about ensuring first-pass silicon success. This role involves defining verification strategies, developing scalable environments, and collaborating cross-functionally with architecture, design, and software teams. Experience with Virtual Modeling, SystemC, and TLM is a plus, enabling advanced verification and early system-level validation. Qualifications Education & Experience B.S./M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field. 8+ years of experience in IP/SoC verification with a proven track record of successful silicon delivery. Technical Expertise Deep knowledge of UVM/SystemVerilog for testbench development and verification IP integration. Strong understanding of SoC architecture and protocols such as DDR5, HBM3, PCIe Gen6, CXL 3.0, and other high-speed interfaces. Expertise in coverage-driven verification, constrained-random testing, and assertion-based verification. Proficient in debugging RTL, testbenches, and simulation failures using industry-standard tools. Tools & Languages Hands-on experience with simulation tools (VCS, Xcelium, Questa, etc.), waveform viewers, coverage tools, and automation scripting (Python, Perl, TCL). Preferred/Additional Skills Virtual Modeling and System-Level Verification Familiarity with SystemC and Transaction-Level Modeling (TLM) for virtual prototyping and early system validation. Experience developing or using virtual platforms for hardware/software co-verification is a strong plus. Emulation & Prototyping Exposure to emulation platforms (Palladium, ZeBu) and FPGA-based prototyping for system-level validation and performance analysis. Software Co-verification Experience working alongside firmware/software teams for pre-silicon software validation and early driver/OS bring-up. Low-Power and DFT Verification Knowledge of power-aware verification (UPF/CPF) and DFT validation methodologies is desirable. Key Responsibilities Verification Planning & Execution Lead the definition, development, and execution of comprehensive verification plans at IP and SoC levels. Develop UVM/SystemVerilog-based testbenches, including stimulus generation, checkers, and monitors for advanced SoC designs. Drive coverage-driven verification processes, ensuring functional and code coverage goals are met. Cross-Functional Collaboration Collaborate with architecture, RTL design, firmware, software, and emulation teams to define verification requirements and ensure comprehensive test coverage. Participate in design and architecture reviews, providing critical feedback on functionality, testability, and performance considerations. Debug & Issue Resolution Lead debug efforts on complex SoC and IP issues through simulation, emulation, and FPGA prototypes. Perform root-cause analysis and drive issues to closure in partnership with cross-disciplinary teams. Methodology & Infrastructure Development Enhance and maintain verification methodologies, including reusable verification IP, automation scripts, and regression infrastructure. Evaluate and adopt new tools and verification technologies to improve quality and efficiency. Leadership & Mentorship Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior verification engineers. Lead verification reviews and strategy discussions, ensuring high technical standards and best practices.
