    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
