Senior Verification Engineer

  • El Segundo, CA

Tittle : Senior Verification Engineer
Work Location: Fully remote
Duration: 8 months
Terms: W2 Contract
Authorized US Worker - US Citizens

Position Summary:
  • As a Senior Verification Engineer on the ASIC & Networking team, you support clients’ first in-house silicon program, which comprises a high-throughput modem and a DSP-intensive digital beamformer with first tape out targeted for 2027.
  • Verification strategy, methodology, and infrastructure are being defined now, and you help define them.
  • The work spans IP, subsystem, and full SoC verification, including CPU subsystems, performance-critical interconnects, security, high-speed peripherals, modem datapath and PHY layers, DSP and beamforming compute, and mixed-signal interfaces.
  • You own a subset of this scope aligned to your background.
  • The team treats constrained-random simulation, formal methods, and processor-driven SoC testing as equal first-class tools and is building an AI-enabled verification platform that includes LLM-assisted stimulus and testbench generation, automated regression triage and failure clustering, and data-driven coverage closure.
  • Because none of this is inherited, the engineers who build these capabilities will own them - and grow with the program as it scales.
  • Background in wireless communications, modem, baseband, and DSP verification is welcome but not required.
  • Architects and modeling engineers support your ramp, and verification judgment and system-level thinking are weighted above domain background.
Responsibilities:
  • Own verification planning and execution for complex blocks and subsystems, from test plan through sign-off.
  • Translate design specifications into verification strategies, measurable coverage goals, and early identification of high-risk scenarios.
  • Select verification methods for each problem, including constrained-random simulation, formal analysis, and directed testing.
  • Develop verification environments, reference models, scoreboards, protocol monitors, coverage components, and assertions.
  • Drive functional coverage closure, regression health, and sign-off readiness across simulation and formal results.
  • Build verification infrastructure, regression and CI systems, and reuse strategy across IP, subsystem, and SoC levels.
  • Apply and build AI-assisted verification capabilities for stimulus generation, regression triage, and coverage analytics.
  • Review testbench architecture and debug methodology, and mentor junior engineers in verification methodology.
Required Qualifications:
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field, or 7+ years equivalent experience.
  • Minimum five years of professional experience in ASIC or SoC functional verification.
  • Hands-on expertise in SystemVerilog, UVM or formal testbench development and maintenance.
  • Experience with metric-driven verification for planning, assertions, and functional coverage closure.
  • Experience verifying complex digital control and datapath logic, including RTL and system-level debug.
Preferred Qualifications:
  • Background in space-based communications, wireless communications, modem, baseband, or DSP hardware.
  • Experience verifying LDPC, FEC, framing, or beamforming logic using bit-accurate reference models and fixed-point analysis.
  • Formal verification experience on production silicon, including connectivity, register maps, arbitration, CDC, or security properties.
  • Experience with interconnect or NoC verification covering performance, bandwidth, QoS, and deadlock analysis.
  • Experience verifying fault tolerance and reliability features such as ECC, redundancy schemes, or fault injection.
  • Experience developing C-based or portable stimulus for SoC, CPU boot, and firmware-driven test scenarios.
  • Experience applying AI, ML, or LLM tooling to stimulus generation, regression triage, or coverage analysis.
