Job summary

Blue Origin in Cupertino, CA, is hiring a Senior Verification Engineer for the ASIC & Networking team to support the TeraWave program, with a high-throughput modem and DSP-based beamformer, targeting tapeout in 2027. This role emphasizes AI-assisted verification and cross-domain collaboration across IP, subsystem, and SoC levels.

You will own verification planning, select methods (constrained-random, formal, directed tests), build environments, and drive coverage closure and sign-off readiness.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• Minimum five years of professional experience in ASIC or SoC functional verification.
• Hands-on expertise in SystemVerilog, UVM or formal testbench development and maintenance.
• Experience with metric-driven verification for planning, assertions, and functional coverage closure.
• Experience verifying complex digital control and datapath logic, including RTL and system-level debug.

Responsibilities

• Own verification planning and execution for complex blocks and subsystems, from test plan through sign-off.
• Translate design specifications into verification strategies, measurable coverage goals, and early identification of high-risk scenarios.
• Select verification methods for each problem, including constrained-random simulation, formal analysis, and directed testing.
• Develop verification environments, reference models, scoreboards, protocol monitors, coverage components, and assertions.
• Drive functional coverage closure, regression health, and sign-off readiness across simulation and formal results.
• Build verification infrastructure, regression and CI systems, and reuse strategy across IP, subsystem, and SoC levels.
• Apply and build AI-assisted verification capabilities for stimulus generation, regression triage, and coverage analytics.
• Review testbench architecture and debug methodology, and mentor junior engineers in verification methodology.
