Position Summary

We are seeking a highly motivated Design Verification (DV) Engineer to verify Design-for-Test (DFT) and test-related logic for complex SoC and IP designs on our flagship FPGAs. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and executing comprehensive pre-silicon verification plans, creating UVM-based testbenches, and ensuring high-quality silicon through rigorous verification methodologies.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute verification plans for DFT and test logic features, including scan, MBIST, LBIST, JTAG, boundary scan, and related infrastructures.
  • Create and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM-based verification environments.
  • Develop reusable verification components, sequences, scoreboards, assertions, and coverage models.
  • Verify DFT architectures and test modes at IP, subsystem, and SoC levels.
  • Perform functional, regression, and coverage-driven verification.
  • Analyze simulation failures, debug RTL and testbench issues, and drive root cause resolution.
  • Collaborate closely with DFT architects, design engineers, validation teams, and physical design teams.
  • Review specifications and provide feedback on testability and verification requirements.
  • Track verification metrics, functional coverage, code coverage, and regression results.

    Qualifications:

    Required Qualifications

    • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
    • 5+ years of ASIC/SoC design verification experience.

      • JTAG / IEEE 1149.x
      • Boundary scan
      • Test access mechanisms
    • Strong debugging skills in simulation environments.
    • Experience with industry-standard simulators such as VCS, Xcelium, or Questa.
    • Knowledge of assertions (SVA), constrained-random verification, and coverage-driven methodologies.

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Experience with SoC-level verification.
    • Familiarity with ATPG concepts and test pattern generation.
    • Knowledge of low-power verification methodologies.
    • Experience with scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or Tcl.
    • Understanding of CI/CD and automated regression environments.
    • Experience mentoring junior verification engineers.

    Technical Skills

    • SystemVerilog
    • UVM
    • SVA
    • DFT Architectures
    • Scan/MBIST/LBIST/JTAG
    • Functional Coverage
    • Regression Automation
    • Python/Perl/Tcl
    • Git or equivalent version control systems

    Desired Traits

    • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
    • Excellent communication and collaboration abilities.
    • Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced development environment.
    • Self-driven with a focus on quality and execution.
