Job description

  • Lead digital verification activities and drive successful project execution from planning through signoff.
  • Define verification plans, methodologies, environments, regressions, coverage goals, and signoff criteria.
  • Review product requirements, architecture specifications, microarchitecture, interfaces, and implementation plans.
  • Develop and maintain advanced verification environments using SystemVerilog, UVM, VIPs, scoreboards, monitors, checkers, and assertions.
  • Create directed and constrained-random test scenarios to validate functionality, performance, robustness, and corner-case behavior.
  • Define, implement, and analyze functional, code, and assertion coverage; drive coverage closure and signoff.
  • Apply SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA), formal verification methodologies, and regression analysis to identify and resolve issues.
  • Verify PMIC digital control, telemetry, diagnostics, safety, power sequencing, fault management, communication interfaces, and embedded control functions.
  • Deliver verification collateral including test plans, environments, assertions, regressions, coverage reports, metrics, milestones, and requirements traceability.
  • Drive methodology improvements, automation, reuse, and productivity while mentoring junior engineers and collaborating across global teams.

Requirements

  • BSEE with 8+ years, MSEE with 5+ years, or PhD with 3+ years of semiconductor industry experience.
  • Strong understanding of digital design fundamentals, FSMs, CDC, reset architecture, low-power design, and SoC integration.
  • Expertise in Verilog, SystemVerilog, UVM/OVM, and class-based verification methodologies.
  • Strong knowledge of constrained-random, coverage-driven verification, regression automation, and verification signoff.
  • Hands-on experience developing testbenches, drivers, monitors, scoreboards, assertions, and reusable verification IP.
  • Experience with SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA), formal verification techniques, and low-power verification methodologies such as UPF/CPF.
  • Knowledge of industry-standard protocols including AMBA, I²C, SPI, UART, CAN, LIN, DDR, and PCIe.
  • Proficiency in Python, Perl, and UNIX/Linux shell scripting for automation.
  • Familiarity with FPGA, emulation, or prototyping platforms such as HAPS, Palladium, or Zebu is a plus.
  • Understanding of PMIC architectures and power management concepts is highly desirable.
  • Experience using AI/LLM-based technologies to improve engineering productivity is a plus.
  • Strong analytical, debugging, problem-solving, communication, leadership, mentoring, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
