Lead Design Engineer - Verification

What You'll Do

• Contributor and senior technical engineer in the IP verification team, especially on high-performance Consumer PHYs including eUSB2v2, USB4-PHY, PCIe, eDP/DP, SATA, etc. - Develop and maintain UVM-based verification environments: testbench architecture, agents/UVCs, sequences, scoreboards, register models (UVM RAL) and checkers, from block level to PHY top and controller+PHY subsystem level. - Create verification plans (vPlan) from protocol specifications and design documents; define functional coverage models, assertions (SVA) and testing strategy including corner conditions and error injection; drive coverage closure and signoff quality metrics. - Run and maintain regressions with simulation/regression platforms (Xcelium, vManager); triage failures, debug RTL/testbench issues with waveform tools (Verisium/SimVision), and track them to root cause and closure. - Apply low-power verification (power islands, state retention, isolation), clock/reset domain crossing checks (CDC/RDC), X-propagation, gate-level simulation and formal techniques as required by the project. - Integrate and configure commercial VIPs for serial protocols; verify firmware/hardware interaction and PHY bring-up/configuration flows together with firmware and design teams. - Work with the design team on testability of features, support lab bring-up and pre/post-silicon debug for global customers. - Partner closely with the Project Management Team to collaborate with various skill groups in Nanjing and multiple worldwide geographies to complete the IP deliverables with high quality; contribute to verification infrastructure, methodology and QA for customer releases.
• Position Requirements: - MS / BS in Electrical/Computer Engineering or related degree. - 3+ years of relative industry working experience in digital/ASIC verification. - Solid hands-on experience with SystemVerilog and UVM; good knowledge of best practices and flows in constrained-random verification, functional coverage and assertion-based verification within an end-to-end methodology. - Knowledge of one or more industry serial standards, such as USB, DP, PCIe, Ethernet, etc., and their link training / power management / protocol layering. - Experience with verification planning and coverage-driven signoff. - Understanding basics of Analog Mixed-Signal verification, and a system view of physical interface IPs and their typical applications. - One Team mentality with a passion to innovate and a can-do attitude. - Strong cross-functional communication skills in both English and Mandarin. - Self-starter and highly motivated.
• Qualifications as Plus - Direct verification experience of high-speed serial interface link IPs (PHY/PCS/controller) in advanced technology nodes. - Experience with Cadence verification tool suite: Xcelium, vManager, Verisium, JasperGold (formal/CDC), Palladium emulation. - Experience with low-power verification (UPF/CPF), gate-level simulation, and mixed-signal co-simulation. - Scripting and automation skills: Python, Perl, Tcl, Makefile/regression infrastructure; interest in AI-assisted verification - Experience controller+PHY subsystem-level verification.
