You Are

A highly experienced design verification engineer with deep expertise in verifying complex digital IP and high-speed interfaces. You bring strong experience in SystemVerilog, UVM, coverage-driven verification, and debug , along with knowledge of technologies such as DDR, UCIe, PHY, or SERDES . You thrive on solving complex verification challenges and driving high-quality IP from initial architecture through verification closure.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Develop and execute verification strategies for PHY, DDRIO, UCIe, and other high-speed interface IP .
• Architect and develop SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches , verification environments, test plans, and reusable verification components.
• Create directed and constrained-random tests, assertions, functional coverage, and coverage models.
• Drive functional and code coverage closure , regression analysis, and verification signoff.
• Debug complex RTL, protocol, testbench, and system-level issues in partnership with design engineers.
• Verify block- and subsystem-level functionality, including interfaces, resets, clocking, low-power behavior, and error scenarios.
• Collaborate closely with RTL design, architecture, firmware, modeling, and implementation teams.
• Mentor engineers and help drive verification methodology and best practices.

The Impact You Will Have

• Ensure the quality and robustness of next-generation high-speed connectivity IP.
• Identify complex functional and protocol issues early in the development cycle.
• Improve verification efficiency, coverage, reuse, and overall product quality.
• Contribute to industry-leading PHY and interface IP used in advanced semiconductor products.
• Strengthen verification methodologies and technical expertise across the engineering organization.

What You’ll Need

Required Qualifications

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field with 12+ years of relevant experience , or MS with 10+ years of experience .
• Strong experience in ASIC/IP design verification .
• Advanced proficiency with SystemVerilog and UVM .
• Experience developing verification environments, test plans, assertions, functional coverage, and constrained-random tests.
• Strong RTL and waveform debugging skills.
• Experience with PHY, DDR/DDRIO, UCIe, SERDES, PCIe, CXL, or similar high-speed interface technologies .
• Understanding of the complete ASIC/IP development and verification lifecycle.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience verifying complex IP at the block and subsystem level .
• Experience with coverage-driven verification and verification closure.
• Familiarity with low-power verification, clock/reset verification, and protocol checking .
• Experience with industry-standard simulation, debug, coverage, and verification tools.
• Experience mentoring engineers or providing technical verification leadership.

Who You Are

• A verification engineer who enjoys finding difficult corner cases before they become silicon issues.
• A strong debugger who can work across RTL, testbench, protocol, and system boundaries.
• A collaborative technical partner to design and architecture teams.
• A self-starter who can independently drive verification from planning through closure.
• A mentor who raises the technical capability of the broader team.

The Team You’ll Be A Part Of

You will join a team developing next-generation PHY and high-speed interface IP . Working closely with architecture, RTL design, verification, and implementation teams, you will help ensure complex IP meets demanding functional, performance, and quality requirements.
