The Opportunity
ADI is seeking a talented and experienced Staff Design Verification Engineer to help develop next-generation eFPGA technology and the SoCs that integrate it. This role is ideal for engineers with strong digital design verification expertise, including UVM-based methodologies, SystemVerilog assertions, and end-to-end silicon verification.
While prior eFPGA experience is not required, candidates should possess a solid background in digital hardware design, architecture, and verification. You will work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to verify complex subsystems and ensure the successful delivery of high-quality silicon products.
Partner with architecture, RTL, firmware, and software teams to understand new features and define comprehensive verification strategies.
Develop detailed verification plans covering feature interactions, system-level behavior, and hardware/software use cases.
Design, implement, and maintain directed and constrained-random verification environments and test suites.
Develop SystemVerilog assertions and functional coverage models to ensure thorough verification.
Debug simulation failures, identify root causes, and collaborate with design and firmware engineers to resolve issues.
Analyze functional and code coverage metrics and enhance verification content to achieve coverage goals.
Build and support end-to-end verification flows for eFPGA soft logic within SoCs, including RTL simulation, synthesis validation, and bitstream generation.
Contribute to verification methodology improvements, automation, and continuous integration workflows.
Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent industry experience.
Strong understanding of SoC architectures and industry-standard bus protocols such as AXI and AHB.
Experience debugging RTL and firmware using simulation and waveform analysis tools.
Hands-on experience developing UVM-based verification environments.
Proficiency in SystemVerilog, Verilog, C/C++, and Python.
Experience developing automation solutions and working within distributed compute environments.
Working knowledge of SystemC and Transaction-Level Modeling (TLM).
Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals, computer architecture, timing analysis, power analysis, process variation, and reliability considerations.
5+ years of experience in SoC, subsystem, or microarchitecture verification.
Experience supporting successful silicon tape-outs in advanced process nodes (N4, N5, or similar technologies).
Knowledge of Functional Safety (FuSA) requirements and safety-focused hardware verification methodologies.
Experience with FPGA or programmable logic architectures.
Familiarity with continuous integration, regression automation, and verification productivity tools.
