What You'll Be Doing
Design and build verification environments for Interface IP protocols including HBM, DDR, LPDDR, and AMBA using SystemVerilog and UVM
Write detailed test plans that cover functional scenarios, corner cases, and protocol compliance for memory controller and interface IP designs
Develop reusable verification IP and testbenches that can be adapted across multiple projects and IP variants
Work directly with design and architecture teams to identify bugs, clarify specifications, and close coverage gaps before tapeout
Run functional coverage analysis, track metrics, and drive coverage closure across complex multi-protocol environments
Mentor junior verification engineers on UVM best practices, debugging techniques, and verification strategy
Use simulation tools like VCS or ModelSim to execute regression suites, debug failures, and validate design changes
The Impact You Will Have
Deliver Interface IP that powers memory subsystems in AI accelerators, mobile SoCs, and high-performance computing platforms used across the industry
Reduce post-silicon bugs and customer escalations by catching issues early through rigorous verification and coverage-driven testing
Shape the verification methodology and standards that the team will use for the next generation of memory IP products
Accelerate project schedules by building reusable verification components that cut bring-up time on future designs
Raise the technical bar across the verification team by mentoring engineers and sharing hard-won lessons from complex bring-ups
Contribute to the quality and reputation of Synopsys IP, which directly affects customer trust and product adoption
Help define what 'done' means for verification, ensuring that coverage, corner cases, and compliance are never compromised under schedule pressure
What You'll Need
Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering with 8 to 10+ years of hands-on ASIC or SoC verification experience
Proven track record verifying Interface IP protocols such as HBM, DDR, LPDDR, or AMBA in production-level designs
Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM, including building testbenches, writing assertions, and developing verification IP
Deep understanding of digital design concepts, timing, protocol compliance, and memory subsystem architecture
Experience using simulation tools such as VCS, ModelSim, Xcelium, or equivalent in a regression and debug workflow
Demonstrated ability to drive functional coverage closure and deliver fully verified IP on schedule
Experience with HBM2, HBM3, DDR4, DDR5, LPDDR4, or LPDDR5 is a strong plus
Who You Are
You can look at a failing test and quickly narrow down whether it is a testbench issue, a design bug, or a timing problem without burning a day in the debugger
You push back when a test plan is too shallow or a coverage model is missing a critical scenario, and you do it in a way that helps the team get better
You can explain a complex protocol violation to a design engineer in two sentences without losing the technical nuance
You are comfortable working across time zones and teams, coordinating with architects in one region and design engineers in another without losing momentum
You take ownership of the verification closure process and do not wait for someone else to tell you what needs to be done next
You mentor junior engineers by showing them how to think through a problem, not just how to fix the immediate issue in front of them
The Team You'll Be Part Of
You will be part of a highly skilled and motivated verification team focused on delivering cutting-edge Interface IP solutions. The team is dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of quality and performance, working collaboratively to tackle complex verification challenges. You will have the opportunity to work alongside industry experts and contribute to the development of next generation technologies.
