Job Description:

Design Verification Engineer

Broadcom's ASIC Products Division (APD), a worldwide leader in the design of complex custom ASICs and embedded IP, is looking for an experienced verification engineer that will be responsible for modeling and verification activities related to complex digital and mixed signal (MXS) IP blocks used in Broadcom’s ASIC developments.

The engineer will be responsible for defining verification plans and environment architecture, developing test cases and test bench components, coverage analysis and closure, and debug. This position may involve working with emulation and FPGA prototyping platforms and leading efforts in evaluating and driving the adoption of advanced verification methodologies/flows. The engineer will be expected to develop functional models to facilitate the block, system, and ASIC level verification. The candidate must work closely with the design teams and EDA vendors to accomplish the modeling and verification tasks.

The candidate must have experience using SystemVerilog and UVM, designing verification components including UVM agents, checkers, and behavioral models. Experience with implementing and achieving coverage goals by developing random & directed test cases, and SystemVerilog Assertions. This engineer will be responsible for analyzing and debugging simulation failures at the RTL and gate-level. The engineer must be knowledgeable of RTL, gate-level netlists, and SDF and capable of analyzing such formats in the verification context.

Requirements:

• 12+ years of experience with verification concepts and architectures for complex digital and MXS circuits




• Experience verifying designs at the block and system levels.




• Experience with complex digital and mixed-signal circuits (PLL, DLL, ADC, DAC)




• Experience debugging RTL and gate-level netlists, analyzing schematic diagrams of analog / MXS circuits
