Job Title: ASIC Design Verification Engineer
Location: San Diego, CA 92121
Duration : 12 Months
Work Schedule: Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM PST

Role Overview
Join  Design Verification team to verify high-speed mixed-signal IPs used in cutting-edge products for 5G, AI/ML, compute, IoT, and automotive applications. The team owns the complete design verification lifecycle, from system-level concept through tape-out and post-silicon validation.

Key Responsibilities

• Define pre-silicon and post-silicon test plans based on design specifications and industry standards
• Work closely with design teams to ensure complete verification coverage and design quality
• Architect and develop verification environments using SystemVerilog and UVM
• Perform analog/mixed-signal simulation, low-power verification, formal verification, and gate-level simulation
• Develop SVA assertions, test cases, and coverage models; drive coverage closure
• Debug complex functional and performance issues across verification stages
• Collaborate with digital design, analog circuit design, modeling, controller, subsystem, and SoC integration teams
• Support PHY-level verification, subsystem/SoC integration, and post-silicon validation

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Strong knowledge of SystemVerilog and UVM verification methodology
• Hands-on experience with ASIC verification tools such as:
• Synopsys VCS
• Cadence Xcelium (NCsim)
• ModelSim / Questa
• Formal tools: VC Formal, JasperGold, 0-In, or equivalent
• Experience verifying high-speed interfaces and mixed-signal IPs
• Proficiency in assertion-based verification (SVA)
• Experience with scripting languages such as Python or Perl

Preferred Qualifications
