Job Summary Client is seeking an experienced Staff Hardware Design Verification Engineer to join its Mixed-Signal Design Verification team. The engineer will be responsible for verifying high-speed mixed-signal IPs used in next-generation 5G, AI/ML, Compute, IoT, and Automotive products. The role covers the complete verification lifecycle—from architecture and test planning through pre-silicon verification, tape-out, and post-silicon validation.
Key Responsibilities
Develop and execute pre-silicon and post-silicon verification plans.
Build and maintain verification environments using SystemVerilog/UVM.
Develop testbenches, assertions (SVA), test cases, and coverage models.
Perform debugging, regression analysis, and coverage closure.
Work closely with digital design, analog design, modeling, subsystem, and SoC integration teams.
Support PHY-level verification, subsystem integration, SoC validation, and post-silicon bring-up.
Participate in mixed-signal, low-power, formal, and gate-level verification activities.
Required Skills
Strong expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM verification methodology.
Experience with ASIC simulation and formal verification tools such as:
VCS
Xcelium/NCsim
Questa/Modelsim
VC Formal
JasperGold
0-In
Experience writing SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) and verification checkers.
Strong debugging and verification skills.
Knowledge of high-speed SerDes protocols including:
PCIe
USB 3.x/4
UFS
MIPI (CSI/DSI)
HDMI
DDR/LPDDR PHY
Preferred Skills
Mixed-signal IP verification experience with technologies such as:
