Position Summary

We are seeking a highly motivated Senior ASIC Verification Engineer to join our networking silicon development team.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and drive block-level or subsystem verification efforts, from creating test plans to achieving comprehensive coverage closure.


• Develop, enhance, and maintain advanced UVM verification environments, including agents, sequences, scoreboards, virtual sequences, and register models.


• Perform constraint-driven random testing, debug complex SoC designs, and ensure functional coverage and assertion goals are met.


• Analyze simulation results using industry-leading simulation tools (e.g., Cadence Xcelium, Synopsys VCS, Mentor Questa) and debug waveforms to validate design functionality.


• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify and resolve issues, ensuring high-quality ASIC/SoC deliverables.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC verification with a proven track record of owning verification from test plan to coverage closure.


• Strong expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM methodology, including developing environments from scratch.


• Deep understanding of randomization, constraints, functional coverage, and assertions (SVA).


• Hands-on experience in test planning, coverage analysis, and debugging of complex SoC designs.


• Proficiency with industry-standard simulation tools (e.g., Cadence Xcelium, Synopsys VCS, Mentor Questa) and waveform debugging.

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Experience verifying networking ASICs or router datapath/control blocks, such as packet processing, forwarding engines, or fabric interfaces.


• Familiarity with high-speed interconnects, buffers, or scheduling pipelines in large networking SoCs.


• Exposure to emulation environments, hardware acceleration, or traffic-model integration.


• Knowledge of coverage analytics, regression dashboards, and continuous-integration flows (e.g., Jenkins).


• Understanding of low-power (UPF) or formal verification methodologies.


• Own and drive block-level/subsystem/FullChip verification efforts, from creating test plans to achieving comprehensive coverage closure.


• Experience with post-silicon bring-up and debug is a plus.


• Familiarity with emulation environments and debug flows is desirable.
