• Build and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches and reusable verification components
• Create directed and constrained-random tests to validate functionality and corner cases
• Develop assertions, drivers, monitors, predictors, scoreboards, checkers, and coverage models
• Execute simulations and regression test suites; analyze and debug failures
• Review waveforms, logs, and coverage data to identify root causes and drive closure
• Collaborate with RTL design, integration, and other engineering teams to resolve issues
• Support automation of EDA flows, regressions, and reporting through scripting
• Document verification results, defects, and test status for technical reviews

Minimum Requirements:

• Bachelor’s or graduate degree in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering 1-5 years of experience

• Familiarity with common digital interfaces and subsystem concepts (e.g., UART, SPI, I2C, MIPI, LVDS, DMA)
• Experience with EDA tools from Siemens, Cadence, Synopsys, or similar vendors
• Understanding of ASIC design and verification flow
• Ability to obtain and maintain DoD Secret Clearance (please note: US Citizenship is required to obtain a US secret clearance)

Preferred Qualifications:

• Active Secret Clearance
• Universal Verification Methodology (UVM)
• ASIC verification methodologies and testbench creation
• Experience with formal verification methods
• Familiarity with logic equivalence checking (LEC)
• Exposure to clock-domain crossing (CDC) or reset-domain crossing (RDC) analysis
• Knowledge of hardware security verification principles
• Experience with DFT or production test concepts, including ATPG vectors
• Familiarity with Automated Test Equipment (ATE) workflows
• Understanding of STIL/WGL vector syntax
• Experience debugging simulated versus measured waveform discrepancies
• Familiarity with layout versus schematic (LVS), design rule check (DRC), and broader ASIC signoff activities
