Job Description:

Position Summary

We are seeking a highly motivated Design Verification (DV) Engineer to verify Design-for-Test (DFT) and test-related logic for complex SoC and IP designs on our flagship FPGAs. The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and executing comprehensive pre-silicon verification plans, creating UVM-based testbenches, and ensuring high-quality silicon through rigorous verification methodologies.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute verification plans for DFT and test logic features, including scan, MBIST, LBIST, JTAG, boundary scan, and related infrastructures.
• Create and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM-based verification environments.
• Develop reusable verification components, sequences, scoreboards, assertions, and coverage models.
• Verify DFT architectures and test modes at IP, subsystem, and SoC levels.
• Perform functional, regression, and coverage-driven verification.
• Analyze simulation failures, debug RTL and testbench issues, and drive root cause resolution.
• Collaborate closely with DFT architects, design engineers, validation teams, and physical design teams.
• Review specifications and provide feedback on testability and verification requirements.
• Track verification metrics, functional coverage, code coverage, and regression results.

Qualifications:

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 5+ years of ASIC/SoC design verification experience.
• Strong expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM methodology.
• Experience verifying DFT features such as:
  • Scan insertion and scan compression
  • MBIST
  • LBIST
  • JTAG / IEEE 1149.x
  • Boundary scan
  • Test access mechanisms
• Strong debugging skills in simulation environments.
• Experience with industry-standard simulators such as VCS, Xcelium, or Questa.
• Knowledge of assertions (SVA), constrained-random verification, and coverage-driven methodologies.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with SoC-level verification.
• Familiarity with ATPG concepts and test pattern generation.
• Knowledge of low-power verification methodologies.
• Experience with scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or Tcl.
• Understanding of CI/CD and automated regression environments.
• Experience mentoring junior verification engineers.

Technical Skills

• SystemVerilog
• UVM
• SVA
• DFT Architectures
• Scan/MBIST/LBIST/JTAG
• Functional Coverage
• Regression Automation
• Python/Perl/Tcl
• Git or equivalent version control systems

Desired Traits

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and collaboration abilities.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced development environment.
• Self-driven with a focus on quality and execution.
• Demonstrate fundamental values such as accountability, integrity, and a winning mindset
