Senior Design Verification Engineer
About the Role
As a Senior Design Verification Engineer at Analog Devices, you will lead verification planning and execution for next-generation automotive connectivity SoCs based on E2B technology. Working independently with minimal supervision, you will develop advanced verification environments for complex SoCs incorporating embedded microprocessors, communication subsystems, firmware, security functions, and mixed-signal components. You will collaborate closely with architecture, digital design, analog design, firmware, functional safety, and validation teams to ensure robust verification coverage and high-quality silicon. You will also contribute to verification methodology improvements, mentor junior engineers, and help resolve complex hardware, firmware, and system-level issues. This career-level position provides the opportunity to contribute to technologies that enable reliable, high-performance communication within modern vehicles.
Key Responsibilities
- Verification Strategy: Develop and implement comprehensive verification strategies and test plans for automotive connectivity SoCs and E2B-related functionality.
- SoC Verification: Verify complex SoCs containing embedded processors, memories, interconnects, DMA controllers, interrupts, communication interfaces, security features, and mixed-signal subsystems.
- UVM Environment Development: Architect, develop, and maintain scalable SystemVerilog /UVM verification environments, including agents, scoreboards, reference models, sequences, assertions, and functional coverage.
- Processor and Firmware Verification: Develop firmware-driven verification scenarios for microprocessor-based SoCs, including processor initialization, interrupts, exceptions, memory accesses, peripheral control, and hardware-software interactions.
- C DPI Development: Develop and integrate C/ SystemVerilog DPI components, software models, and reference models into simulation environments.
- E2B Protocol Verification: Verify E2B protocol functionality, including data transfers, control and configuration mechanisms, timing behavior, error handling, diagnostics, and recovery scenarios.
- Coverage and Verification Closure: Define and track functional coverage, code coverage, assertion coverage, test status, and verification metrics through sign-off.
- Debug and Issue Resolution: Analyze and resolve complex issues across RTL, UVM environments, embedded software, C models, and system-level use cases.
- Functional Safety Verification: Support verification of safety mechanisms, fault injection campaigns, requirements traceability, and verification activities associated with ISO 26262-compliant automotive products.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with architecture, design, firmware, functional safety, validation, and applications teams on verification planning, issue resolution, and product readiness.
- Post-Silicon Support: Contribute to FPGA prototyping, silicon bring-up, post-silicon validation, and investigation of system or customer issues.
- Technical Mentorship: Provide technical guidance to junior verification engineers and contribute to design and verification reviews.
- Methodology and Automation: Improve verification productivity through reusable components, automation, regression infrastructure, and verification best practices.
Must-Have Skills
- SystemVerilog and UVM: Expert-level knowledge of SystemVerilog and the Universal Verification Methodology, with experience developing reusable verification environments for complex digital designs.
- SoC Verification: Strong experience verifying complex SoCs that include embedded microprocessors, memories, buses, peripherals, interrupts, and communication subsystems.
- C DPI Development: Hands-on experience developing C/ SystemVerilog DPI interfaces and integrating C models or reference models into verification environments.
