Staff Verification Engineer
Job Overview
Our Solution Engineering division develops and verifies IPs for a variety of SoC projects, integrating both internally developed designs and third-party IP.
We are looking for an experienced and highly motivated Staff Verification Engineer to lead verification activities for complex IP and subsystem developments within Arm-based SoCs. You will drive verification strategy, guide project execution, and work closely with architecture, design, and verification teams to ensure high-quality product delivery.
Responsibilities
In addition to bringing your accomplishment of either a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or a related field, you will:
- Lead verification activities for complex IP and subsystem developments from planning through signoff.
- Collaborate closely with architects and RTL designers to understand specifications, microarchitecture, and verification requirements.
- Define verification strategies and drive their implementation across the project team.
- Develop and enhance verification environments, including stimulus generation, checkers, scoreboards, coverage models, and reusable verification infrastructure.
- Own verification plans, test plans, coverage models, and signoff criteria.
- Drive functional and code coverage closure and ensure verification completeness.
- Lead debug of complex design and verification issues, coordinating resolution across teams where required.
- Provide technical leadership and guidance to verification engineers within the project.
- Contribute to methodology improvements, reusable verification components, and verification best practices across the wider organization.
- Collaborate effectively with globally distributed engineering teams to deliver project objectives.
