Work on the verification of memory data buffer products, including DDR6.
Originally posted 10 November 2026 by the employer.
About the role
This role drives verification activities for complex digital designs at the block and system level for memory interface products. Work focuses on memory data buffer products, including DDR6 and future generations.
What you'll do
- Develop and execute verification plans based on functional and performance specifications.
- Develop, maintain, and optimize SystemVerilog/UVM verification environments and testbenches.
- Develop verification tests, functional coverage, checkers, and other verification components.
- Drive and monitor coverage to ensure verification goals are achieved.
- Analyze verification results, debug failures, and identify functional or design issues in collaboration with design engineers.
- Serve as a technical resource within the team, providing guidance on complex verification problems and sharing best practices.
What you'll need
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent experience.
- 8+ years of related experience in semiconductor design verification.
- Strong proficiency with SystemVerilog and hands-on experience using UVM (Universal Verification Methodology).
- Experience developing and debugging UVM-based verification environments and testbenches.
- Experience with verification planning, functional verification, coverage, checkers, test development, and debugging.
- Ability to independently own complex verification assignments and determine appropriate verification approaches.
Nice to have
- Experience with DDR4, DDR5, memory interfaces, data buffers, or other high-speed memory technologies.
- Experience improving verification methodologies, efficiency, or reuse.
- Experience serving as a technical resource or mentoring other engineers.

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.
