About the job

Verifies wireless SOC designs from block through top-level integration, driving test planning, testbench development, coverage closure, and signoff.

What you'll do

  • Develop reusable UVM testbenches, tests, coverage models, and automated regressions; debug issues and manage bugs through resolution.
  • Verify low-power design intent using UPF and end-to-end WiFi and Bluetooth traffic flows; apply formal verification where appropriate.
  • Collaborate on verification plans and methodology, explore AI-assisted verification, and support post-silicon bring-up as needed.

What they ask for

  • Bachelor’s degree.
  • Hands-on experience across the verification cycle, including test planning, testbench implementation, test creation and debug, and coverage closure.
  • Strong SystemVerilog and Verilog skills, with working knowledge of UVM.
  • Constrained-random verification skills and understanding of digital logic design, SOC architecture, and microarchitecture.

Nice to have

  • ASIC/SOC experience through tape-out; verification experience with PCIe, bus fabric/NOC, AHB/AXI, WiFi, or Bluetooth.
  • Experience with UPF, SVA or formal tools, coverage modeling, embedded CPU verification, C/C++ or assembly, Python or Perl, or AI/ML verification workflows.

Pay

$122,700 and $214,300 (base salary); $129,300 and $225,300 (base salary)

Tools
