We are seeking a hands‑on soc design verification engineer to drive verification for complex soc/ip blocks. The role includes ownership of verification planning, uvm testbench development, test content creation, coverage closure, and debugging across block, subsystem, and soc levels. Collaboration with design, architecture, firmware, and validation teams is essential to deliver high‑quality silicon on schedule.
key responsibilities
* own the verification lifecycle for one or more ips/subsystems/soc top‑level features: requirements decomposition, test plan definition, coverage strategy, execution, and sign‑off.
* architect and implement uvm environments (agents, drivers, monitors, sequencers, scoreboards, reference models), with scalable, reusable components.
* develop test content: constrained‑random sequences, scenario tests, stimulus libraries, checkers, and assertions.
* debug failures quickly and methodically across simulation and emulation (waveforms, logs, assertions, checkers, reference model mismatches).
* drive coverage closure (functional and code coverage): define, measure, analyze holes, and implement closure strategies.
* leverage assertions (sva) and formal where appropriate to strengthen verification quality and accelerate bug find.
* integrate vips (e.g., axi/ace/pcie/ddr) and coordinate with external/internal ip teams for models, checkers, and coverage.
* collaborate cross‑functionally with rtl design, architecture, dv, dft, performance, firmware, and post‑silicon validation to ensure feature completeness and testability.
* continuously improve flows: contribute to methodology, regressions, ci/cd, and verification infrastructure (e.g., makefiles, python utilities, farm scripts).
* document plans, environments, and results; present status, risks, and sign‑off evidence to stakeholders.
behavioral traits
* problem‑solving mindset: approaches complex technical challenges with curiosity, creativity, and structured analytical thinking.
* collaboration skills: works effectively with cross‑functional engineering teams, seeks input from partners, and communicates clearly in both technical and non‑technical contexts.
* adaptability and learning agility: quickly learns new tools, technologies, and methodologies; comfortable working in evolving development environments.
* attention to detail: delivers high‑quality, reliable, and scalable software solutions with a focus on robustness, validation, and secure coding practices.
* results‑oriented: prioritizes effectively, manages time well, and drives solutions to completion in a fast‑paced engineering environment.
* innovation and continuous improvement: looks for opportunities to optimize tools, simplify workflows, and introduce new methodologies that enhance engineering efficiency.
minimum qualifications
* bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering or a related field.
* 5+ years of experience in:
o soc/ip design verification.
o uvm/systemverilog development expertise (testbenches, agents, scoreboards, virtual sequences, factory/objection/callback mechanisms).
o test planning experience: translating architectural/rtl specs into measurable, coverage‑driven verification plans.
o proven debug skills in simulation/emulation (e.g., synopsys vcs, cadence xcelium, siemens questa; waveform tools like verdi/dve/simvision).
o coverage‑driven verification: functional coverage modeling, code coverage analysis, coverage closure workflows.
o scripting proficiency (python, shell, make/cmake) for automation, regressions, and data analysis.
* advanced english level.
* must have unrestricted, permanent right to work in mexico (no visa or immigration sponsorship).
preferred qualifications
* soc‑level verification experience: fabric/interconnect, security.
* experience with standard protocols (axi/ace/chi, pcie, lp/ddr, usb, mipi, i3c, spi/i2c, ethernet) and integrating/customizing vips.
* assertion‑based verification (sva) and formal verification (jaspergold/vc formal/propcheck) for property checking and bug hunting.
* power‑aware verification (upf/cpf), isolation/retention, multi‑voltage domains.
* emulation/fpga prototyping (palladium, zebu, veloce), transaction‑level acceleration, hybrid verification.
* performance/latency/throughput test content and checkers; scoreboard/reference model design for complex data paths.
* exposure to c/c++/systemc reference models or firmware‑aware verification.
* experience leading small teams, mentoring, or driving sign‑off for a tapeout.
