Job summary

Hewlett Packard Enterprise is seeking a Senior Design Verification Engineer to advance emulation-based verification for complex digital designs. You will define verification plans, build robust UVM/testbench environments, and drive coverage to closure in a hybrid work model with ~2 days in the office in Sunnyvale, CA.

The role requires 5–8 years in design verification, SystemVerilog/UVM expertise, and hands-on emulation experience (Cadence Palladium, Synopsys ZeBu, Mentor Veloce).

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science.
• 5–8 years of professional experience in design verification of digital/mixed-signal designs.
• Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM methodology.
• Hands-on experience with emulation-based verification platforms (Cadence Palladium, Synopsys ZeBu, or Mentor Veloce).
• Solid understanding of digital design concepts including RTL design, synthesis constraints, and timing.
• Experience with constrained-random verification, functional coverage, and code coverage-driven methodologies.
• Proficiency in debugging complex hardware designs using simulation and emulation tools.
• Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or TCL for automation and flow development.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with excellent attention to detail.

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute verification plans for IP-level and system-level designs.
• Build, maintain, and enhance UVM/SystemVerilog-based testbench environments including scoreboards, monitors, drivers, and coverage models.
• Develop and run directed and constrained-random test cases to achieve functional and code coverage goals.
• Set up, configure, and run designs on emulation platforms for system-level verification and performance validation.
• Collaborate with design teams to define verification strategies, review specifications, and identify corner cases and potential design risks.
• Debug complex design issues using waveform analysis, log analysis, and emulation platform debug tools.
• Develop and maintain assertion-based verification (SVA) to complement simulation and emulation efforts.
• Drive coverage closure and generate verification sign-off reports.
• Support software and firmware teams with early bring-up activities on emulation platforms.
• Continuously improve verification processes, flows, and infrastructure.
