Key Responsibilities
Verification Architecture and Planning
Build and maintain UVM-based verification environments using SystemVerilog and C/C++ integration through DPI/PLI.
Translate design specifications into verification plans, test strategies, and reusable test sequences.
Develop VIP abstraction layers that simplify and scale verification across projects and platforms.
Stimulus, Assertions, and Coverage
Create directed and constrained-random tests, transaction-level sequences, and user-controlled random constraints.
Write assertions and cover properties, analyze coverage data, and drive closure against verification goals.
Automate verification infrastructure and regression workflows using Python or Perl.
Debug and Cross-Functional Collaboration
Collaborate with RTL designers and other engineers to isolate, debug, and resolve failures across simulation, co-simulation, and FPGA-based emulation.
Apply third-party verification IP to validate protocols including PCIe, Ethernet, InfiniBand, DDR, NVMe, and USB.
Contribute to technical reviews, communicate verification status clearly, and manage priorities across multiple deliverables.
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
2 - 5 years of experience developing or verifying complex SoC or silicon products.
Hands-on experience with SystemVerilog, UVM, and C/C++ in production verification environments.
Experience integrating C/C++ with SystemVerilog environments using DPI or PLI.
Experience developing verification infrastructure and tests in directed and constrained-random environments.
Strong debugging, prioritization, collaboration, and communication skills.
Authorized to work in Canada.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience verifying PCIe across the physical, link, and transaction layers.
Experience with DDR4, DDR5, or HBM memory technologies.
Experience with FPGA-based verification or emulation.
Experience verifying Ethernet protocols across the PMA, PCS and MAC layers.
Experience debugging SoC software, including kernels, device drivers, or U-Boot.
Familiarity with verification IP from third-party vendors and protocol-level modeling.
Self-directed, adaptable approach with a strong focus on quality, execution, and customer impact.
We know that creativity and innovation happen more often when teams include diverse ideas, backgrounds, and experiences, and we actively encourage everyone with relevant experience to apply, including people of color, LGBTQ+ and non-binary people, veterans, parents, and individuals with disabilities.
