Senior Verification Engineer

Position Overview

We are seeking a Senior FPGA Verification Engineer with 4–8 years of experience to design, develop, and execute comprehensive verification strategies for complex FPGA designs. This role requires strong hands-on expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM, testbench architecture, and cross-functional collaboration with design and system teams.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM-based verification environments for FPGA block-level and top-level designs
• Create and execute verification plans, directed and constrained-random test scenarios, assertions, and functional coverage
• Perform simulation-based verification of FPGA designs using industry-standard simulators
• Drive debug and root-cause analysis of functional issues and work closely with FPGA RTL designers
• Integrate and maintain VIPs, scoreboards, checkers, and reference models
• Support FPGA bring-up, validation, and debug activities on FPGA platforms and evaluation boards
• Review FPGA RTL, verification code, and test plans to ensure quality and completeness
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to FPGA verification best practices
• Support regression runs, coverage closure, and release signoff
