Job Level

Lead

About the role

  • Lead verification of complex digital ASIC and SoC designs for space-based communications applications.
  • Define and implement verification strategy across block, subsystem, and SoC levels.
  • Drive development of robust verification environments using System Verilog, UVM, assertions, coverage-driven verification, and formal methods.
  • Ensure comprehensive verification of datapath, control, interface, protocol, and integration behavior.
  • Establish verification signoff criteria and drive closure for functional coverage, regressions, assertions, and quality metrics.
  • Partner closely with ASIC design, systems engineering, architecture, DFT, physical design, FPGA, firmware, validation, and program management teams.
  • Build, lead, and develop high-performing verification teams through hiring, mentoring, and performance management.
  • Set priorities, allocate resources, and align staffing with program schedules and technical needs.
  • Improve verification methodology, reusable infrastructure, automation frameworks, and development processes.
  • Support emulation, FPGA prototyping, silicon bring-up, and pre-silicon/post-silicon correlation activities as needed.

Requirements

  • BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  • Strong experience in ASIC/SoC verification for complex digital designs.
  • Deep expertise in System Verilog and UVM.
  • Strong understanding of constrained-random verification, functional coverage, assertions, scoreboards, reference models, regression planning, debug, and verification closure.
  • Experience verifying high-performance digital systems with both control logic and high-throughput datapaths.
  • Proven technical leadership and multi-functional execution skills.
  • Strong communication, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
  • For Manager level: typically 8+ years of ASIC/SoC verification experience, including leadership of a verification team, major subsystem, or chip partition.
