About the job

Verifies wireless system-on-chip designs from block through full SOC integration, including low-power intent and end-to-end wireless traffic, and explores AI-assisted verification methods.

What you'll do

  • Plan and execute pre-silicon RTL verification, building reusable UVM testbenches, tests, coverage models, and automated regression flows through signoff.
  • Debug failures, manage bugs, verify low-power intent with UPF, and validate end-to-end WiFi and Bluetooth traffic flows.
  • Apply formal and AI-assisted verification where appropriate, contribute to reviews and methodology, and support post-silicon bring-up as needed.

What they ask for

  • BS degree and at least 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Hands-on experience across verification planning, testbench implementation, test creation and debugging, and coverage closure.
  • Strong SystemVerilog and Verilog skills, with solid working knowledge of UVM.
  • Problem-solving and constrained-random verification skills; understanding of digital logic design, SOC architecture, and microarchitecture.

Nice to have

  • Experience taking an ASIC/SOC from concept through tape-out; wireless SOC, PCIe, bus fabric/NOC, or AHB/AXI verification experience is also valued.
  • Experience with UPF, SVA or formal tools, coverage models, embedded CPU verification, C/C++ or assembly, Python or Perl, or AI/ML verification workflows.

Pay
