Key Responsibilities:
Design and develop digital ASICs and FPGAs, and/or mixed-signal ASICs Implement designs using HDL (VHDL, Verilog, and/or SystemVerilog) Develop verification methodologies and test benches for block and system-level verification Create and execute test plans, develop test harnesses, and implement coverage models Conduct timing analysis, noise analysis, and other signoff checks Collaborate with cross-functional teams including systems, firmware, architecture, and product engineering Support lab integration and troubleshooting activities Resolve design issues and drive solutions for timing, congestion, and other implementation challenges
Basic Qualifications:
7+ years of experience in ASIC design and implementation
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering,
Computer Engineering, or related technical discipline Experience with FPGA & ASIC design Proficiency in HDL programming (VHDL, Verilog, and/or SystemVerilog)
Experience with Linux development environment
Experience with design verification and test bench development
Responsibilities:
• Own verification planning and execution for complex blocks and subsystems, from test plan through sign-off.
• Translate design specifications into verification strategies, measurable coverage goals, and early identification of high-risk scenarios.
• Select verification methods for each problem, including constrained-random simulation, formal analysis, and directed testing.
• Develop verification environments, reference models, scoreboards, protocol monitors, coverage components, and assertions.
• Drive functional coverage closure, regression health, and sign-off readiness across simulation and formal results.
• Build verification infrastructure, regression and CI systems, and reuse strategy across IP, subsystem, and SoC levels.
• Apply and build AI-assisted verification capabilities for stimulus generation, regression triage, and coverage analytics.
• Review testbench architecture and debug methodology, and mentor junior engineers in verification methodology.
Preferred Skills and Experience:
- Advanced degree (MS/PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
- Experience in full ASIC/FPGA lifecycle (architecture, design, simulation, verification, validation, integration & test)
- Experience with Software-Defined Radio Architectures, ADC/DAC, and/or DSPs
- Knowledge of DSP and communications systems including spread spectrum, forward error correction, and modulation types (QPSK, QAM, PCM/FM, PAM) Strong object-oriented programming and scripting skills (Python, TCL, Perl)
- Experience with physical design flows and industry-standard EDA tools
- Experience with RTL2GDSII physical design and signoff flows Knowledge of deep sub-micron FinFET and CMOS technologies Experience with DFT/Scan/MBIST/LBIST methodologies Experience mentoring junior engineers
