ASIC Verification Engineer (UVM & GLS Focus)
Position : ASIC Verification Engineer (UVM & GLS Focus) Location : Remote is fine Number of Positions : 7 Must-Have Skills Strong end-to-end UVM expertise with hands-on experience building verification environments from scratch, including testbench architecture, agents, sequences, monitors, scoreboards, checkers, assertions, coverage models, and regression automation. Extensive Gate-Level Simulation (GLS) experience including SDF annotation, timing validation, X-propagation analysis, reset/clock synchronization issues, power-up sequence validation, and debug of post-synthesis/post-layout simulation failures. Expert-level proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM for complex ASIC/SoC verification. Protocol knowledge in Ethernet, PCIe, or UCIe is preferred but secondary to strong UVM and GLS expertise.
Key Responsibilities
Own verification of complex ASIC/SoC design blocks from planning through sign-off. Develop and maintain UVM-based verification environments from scratch, including testbench infrastructure, agents, drivers, monitors, scoreboards, sequences, and coverage models. Drive functional verification using directed and constrained-random methodologies and achieve coverage closure. Execute and debug Gate-Level Simulations (GLS), including timing-related failures, SDF-annotated simulations, reset issues, X-propagation, and initialization/debug challenges. Perform deep waveform analysis, root-cause debugging, regression triage, and verification sign-off activities. Collaborate with design, architecture, and customer teams to ensure comprehensive verification coverage and quality. Required Qualifications 6-10+ years of ASIC/SoC Verification experience. Proven experience building complete UVM verification environments from scratch. Strong hands-on expertise in: SystemVerilog UVM Gate-Level Simulation (GLS) Functional Coverage Assertions Regression Debugging Experience with industry-standard simulators such as Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium, or Siemens Questa. Strong debugging skills involving waveform analysis, protocol debugging, and root-cause identification.
