About the role
This role is responsible for delivering performant and functionally accurate silicon across compute, memory management, and high-speed connectivity.
What you'll do
- Contribute to the verification methodology with a scalable solution across blocks, subsystems, fullchip, and system-level validation.
- Own portions of verification execution at subsystem and chip-level, creating testbenches, tests, and related artifacts to achieve structural and functional coverage closure.
- Plan and drive intermediate and sign-off reviews on verification test plans, execution progress, and verification closure towards milestones including design freeze and tapeout.
What you'll need
- Concept-to-silicon experience in driving verification from an architecture and/or design specification to production silicon.
- Experience with SystemVerilog, Python, C/C++, Bluespec, and similar scripting and programming languages for verification and silicon modeling.
- Production experience with advanced verification methodologies such as UVM and assertion-based verification (ABV).
- Experience and comfort with formal and simulated verification.
- Production experience with creating portable tests and drivers for verification that apply to silicon validation and post-silicon debug.
- Understanding of silicon micro-architecture and design concepts used in high-performance compute (CPUs, GPUs, accelerators), high-speed connectivity, and memory management.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with emulation and prototyping platforms and methodologies.
- Hands-on experience with participation in silicon debug and bring-up.

How we counted: 1412 open Design Verification (Design Verification) roles from 101 employers tracked in the SemiconductorJobs index, counted 14 Nov 2026. Specialty figures count only roles carrying this exact specialty label, so an employer's related work in neighbouring specialties is not included there, and is counted in the wider Digital Design & Verification family row. Days are counted from when our index first saw each posting, not from the employer's original posting date.
