Job description

Specialization: Semiconductor Design and Functional Verification

Job Description

Our partner is looking for a Staff Design Verification Engineer to develop and improve functional verification environments for complex ASIC and SoC designs, focusing on PCIe, UCIe, SerDes and AMBA protocols.

You will take technical ownership of SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches, protocol verification, debugging and coverage closure, ensuring functional correctness and efficient verification processes.

This is a senior technical role requiring independent problem solving, protocol expertise and collaboration with RTL and architecture teams.

Location: Barcelona, Spain

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

Employment: Full time

Responsibilities

Develop and debug ASIC/SoC verification environments at IP and subsystem levels.
Build and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches.
Verify PCIe, UCIe, SerDes and AMBA protocols.
Investigate RTL, verification model and specification mismatches.
Drive functional coverage, regressions and bug closure.
Improve simulation performance and automate verification workflows.
Resolve complex verification issues with engineering teams.
Maintain verification documentation and methodologies.

Mandatory Requirements

7+ years in ASIC/SoC functional verification.
Recent PCIe, UCIe or SerDes verification experience.
Strong AMBA knowledge, including AXI, CHI, CXS or AHB.
Advanced SystemVerilog, UVM and coverage closure skills.
Experience with VCS, Xcelium or Questa.
Strong RTL debugging and SoC architecture knowledge.
Independent technical ownership and complex problem solving.
Relevant engineering degree.

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