About the role

As a Design Verification Engineer, you will ensure the quality and performance of complex digital designs through rigorous verification. You’ll develop and execute verification plans, build scalable reusable testbenches, write SV‑UVM sequences, debug issues, and collaborate closely with RTL designers and firmware/application engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Understand design intent and develop comprehensive verification & test plans
• Develop reusable, scalable SV‑UVM testbenches and write test sequences
• Verify PCIe subsystems and other interfaces (I2C/I3C/SMBus/CPU/UART/SPI) at block and subsystem levels (e.g., PHY, controller)
• Write assertions, checkers, and coverage, analyze functional & code coverage gaps, and drive closure
• Build firmware‑based simulations in C; mirror/approximate real FW behavior to validate HW/SW interactions
• Reproduce silicon failures in simulation and perform deep debug to root cause
• Automate flows with Python/Perl/Shell scripting
• Collaborate with AEs/FW on debug, feature implementation, and spec contributions driven by DV findings

Basic Qualifications

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 7 years of experience in RTL and functional verification using SV/UVM
• PCIe verification experience
• Experience with gate‑level simulation and firmware‑based simulation
• Proficiency in RTL design and computer architecture concepts
• Strong debugging, problem‑solving, and analytical skills
• Effective collaborator who thrives in cross‑functional teams

Preferred Qualifications

• Background in high‑speed connectivity solutions (PCIe/CXL, SerDes, optical DSP)
• Experience working across HW/SW boundaries and with application engineering/firmware teams
• PHY verification experience

The base salary range for this position is $130,000 to $160,000 per year. The base salary ultimately offered is determined through a review of education, experience, training, skills, qualifications, and location. This position is also eligible for a discretionary bonus, equity and a full range of medical and other benefits.
