Role Overview

As a Senior Design Verification Engineer, you will help build and validate complex connectivity silicon that enables the next generation of AI infrastructure. You will develop scalable verification environments, integrate UVM and C/C++ workflows, and partner closely with RTL designers to identify and resolve issues across simulation, co-simulation, and emulation.

This is an opportunity to contribute across the verification lifecycle at a hyper-growth connectivity company. Your work will help deliver reliable, high-bandwidth products that connect CPUs, GPUs, memory, storage, and networking devices in rack-scale AI systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Verification Architecture and Planning
• Build and maintain UVM-based verification environments using SystemVerilog and C/C++ integration through DPI/PLI.
• Translate design specifications into verification plans, test strategies, and reusable test sequences.
• Develop VIP abstraction layers that simplify and scale verification across projects and platforms.
• Stimulus, Assertions, and Coverage
• Create directed and constrained-random tests, transaction-level sequences, and user-controlled random constraints.
• Write assertions and cover properties, analyze coverage data, and drive closure against verification goals.
• Automate verification infrastructure and regression workflows using Python or Perl.
• Debug and Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Collaborate with RTL designers and other engineers to isolate, debug, and resolve failures across simulation, co-simulation, and FPGA-based emulation.
• Apply third-party verification IP to validate protocols including PCIe, Ethernet, InfiniBand, DDR, NVMe , and USB.
• Contribute to technical reviews, communicate verification status clearly, and manage priorities across multiple deliverables.
