Senior Verification Engineer
Southampton | Hybrid
Circa £85k, plus 20% bonus, equity, PMI, life, pension etc..
A communications technology company is preparing to take proven Layer 1 IP from FPGA into ASIC.
Recent commercial success within the satellite communications market has created the need to scale engineering capability as products move towards high-volume deployment.
As part of that growth, they're looking for a Senior Verification Engineer to take ownership of UVM-based verification across complex communications IP.
Working closely with architects, RTL designers and systems engineers, you'll be involved from specification through to sign-off, developing verification plans, building SystemVerilog/UVM environments, creating coverage models and debugging issues across both RTL and verification environments.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll likely bring
- SystemVerilog and UVM experience
- ASIC and/or FPGA verification experience
- Coverage-driven and assertion-based verification
- Linux and scripting skills (Python, Tcl or Bash)
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
Experience within wireless communications, DSP, modem development, Layer 1 processing or satellite communications would be beneficial, but is not essential.

Why this opportunity is different
The technology already works.
The challenge now is scaling it.
You'll join at a point where verification is becoming increasingly important as communications IP moves from FPGA-based implementations towards ASIC deployment, working within a team where verification engineers have visibility, influence and direct access to the architects and designers developing the technology.
