Job description

Specialization: Semiconductor Design and Functional Verification

Job Description

Our partner is looking for a Lead Design Verification Engineer to lead functional verification of DDR/LPDDR memory interfaces within complex ASIC and SoC designs.

You will take ownership of verification strategy, UVM environments and coverage closure, ensuring functional correctness and protocol compliance.

This is a technical leadership role involving direct verification work, mentoring engineers and collaborating with RTL, architecture and firmware teams.

Location: Barcelona, Spain

Working model: Hybrid, 4 days in the office, 1 day from home

Employment: Full time

Responsibilities

Lead functional verification of DDR/LPDDR memory interfaces at IP and subsystem levels.
Develop and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches.
Define verification strategies, coverage plans and signoff criteria.
Verify DDR/LPDDR and AMBA protocol compliance.
Debug RTL, testbench and specification mismatches.
Manage regressions, investigate failures and drive bug closure.
Optimize simulation performance and automate verification workflows.
Guide verification engineers and collaborate across engineering teams.
Maintain verification documentation and methodologies.

Mandatory Requirements

10+ years in ASIC/SoC functional verification.
Recent DDR/LPDDR or comparable high speed protocol verification experience.
Strong AMBA protocol knowledge, including AXI, AHB, CHI or CXS.
Advanced SystemVerilog, UVM and coverage closure experience.
Experience with VCS, Xcelium or Questa.
Strong RTL debugging and SoC architecture knowledge.
Proven technical leadership and team coordination.
Relevant engineering degree.

Important: Direct ASIC/SoC functional verification experience, including UVM development, protocol expertise and verification signoff ownership, is essential. RTL design or physical verification alone is insufficient.
