About the role
- Develop and maintain simulation-based verification environments for SystemVerilog RTL (UVM and/or cocotb-based flows).
- Create scalable testbenches, drivers/monitors, scoreboards, reference models, and coverage (functional/code) to validate IP and SoC behavior.
- Build and execute constrained-random and directed tests; debug failures across RTL, testbench, and tool flows.
- Define verification plans, coverage goals, and bring-up strategies in collaboration with design and architecture.
- Drive regressions and continuous integration for verification, including test triage, automation, and reporting.
- Contribute to verification best practices (assertions, checkers, reuse, documentation) across the Core Platform.
Requirements
- BS/MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
- 3+ years of digital verification experience (or equivalent), including verification of non-trivial IP blocks and/or SoCs.
- Strong SystemVerilog skills and comfort reading/debugging RTL.
- Hands-on experience with at least one simulation-based verification methodology: UVM (SystemVerilog class-based verification), and/or cocotb (Python-based verification) or similar framework, with modern verification practices.
- Proficiency debugging simulation issues (waveforms, logs, assertions) and working with common EDA simulators.
- Experience verifying complex systems (multi-clock domains, bus fabrics, interrupts, DMA, low-power states, or similar SoC features).
- Solid scripting ability (Python preferred; bash/tcl a plus) for test automation and tooling.
Benefits
- Waveworks is committed to a friendly and welcoming working environment.
- Waveworks does not discriminate based on race, gender, age, religious affiliation, or any other legally protected status.
