Job description

Application Specific Integrated Circuit Verification Engineer

An innovative and rapidly growing semiconductor start-up is looking for an experienced ASIC Verification Engineer to join their team. In this role, you’ll be at the forefront of verifying next-generation digital and SoC designs, ensuring they meet the highest standards for functionality, performance, and compliance.

This opportunity is ideal for someone with strong UVM expertise, a detail-oriented mindset, and a drive to refine verification methodologies.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect, implement, and maintain UVM-based verification environments for advanced SoC and digital designs.
• Develop comprehensive verification plans and design focused test cases aligned with functional specifications.
• Build, run, and optimize test benches to validate functionality, performance, and standards compliance.
• Troubleshoot and debug design issues while collaborating closely with design engineers to drive timely fixes.
• Contribute to the enhancement of verification flows, tools, and best practices.
• Partner with cross-functional teams to align verification activities with broader project milestones.
• Participate in design and architecture reviews, providing input from a verification perspective.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering (Master’s preferred).
• 5+ years of professional experience in ASIC verification.
• Strong background in digital logic design and verification principles.
• Hands-on experience with processor-based systems and complex SoC verification.
• Proven success in deploying large SoCs on emulation platforms.
• Knowledge of industry-standard protocols such as PCIe, DDR, UCIe, and Ethernet.
• Proficiency in C/C++ and hardware verification languages (SystemVerilog, SystemC).
• Strong scripting skills in Tcl, Perl, or Python.
• Expertise in at least one verification methodology (UVM, formal verification, or emulation).
• End-to-end verification lifecycle experience: from requirements gathering through planning, execution, and documentation.
• Familiarity with HW/SW co-simulation or emulation environments (e.g., QEMU) is a plus.

If you’re motivated to tackle challenging verification problems and meet the qualifications outlined above, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now or email your CV to [e-mail] to be part of a team shaping the future of semiconductor innovation.
