Fpga/asic Engineer

As a Design Verification Engineer, you will support the verification of ASIC, SoC, IP, subsystem, and FPGA designs. You will help develop testbenches, create tests, run simulations, debug failures, and contribute to coverage-driven verification under the guidance of senior engineers.

This is a hands-on technical role with strong mentorship and learning opportunities. You will gain experience with modern verification methodologies, EDA tools, scripting, simulation debug, and the process of taking complex designs from specification through verification closure.

Key Responsibilities

Support verification activities for ASIC, SoC, IP, subsystem, and FPGA designs.

Develop and maintain verification components using SystemVerilog and, where applicable, UVM.

Create and run directed and constrained-random tests to verify design functionality.

Assist in developing testbench components such as drivers, monitors, scoreboards, checkers, sequences, and coverage models.

Analyze design specifications and work with senior engineers to understand verification requirements.

Run simulations and regressions using industry-standard EDA tools.

Debug test failures using simulation logs, waveforms, assertions, and guidance from senior engineers.

Help collect and analyze functional coverage, code coverage, and regression results.

Document verification work, test results, debug findings, and issue resolutions.

Collaborate with design, verification, firmware, FPGA, and project teams to resolve issues.

Learn and apply best practices in verification methodology, automation, scripting, and reusable testbench development.

Participate in design reviews, verification reviews, and technical discussions.
