Job Description As a Team Lead Digital ASIC Verification Engineer, you'll play a role in shaping the future of our cutting-edge technology. You will be responsible for the verification of our digital IP blocks and the simulation of Chip level post-layout within our upcoming SoCs. You will contribute to the circuit design for our next-generation products. You are responsible for ASIC verification, System Verilog, and UVM. You will be responsible for the simulation and verification of digital block implementation in RTL for various functions, including control state machine digital processing (DSP), and multiple clock domain interface management. During your work at Qualinx you will be responsible for the post-layout simulation of complex mixed-signal SoC. As a Digital ASIC Verification engineer you will develop test benches and test cases for block-level functional verification. You will work with our backend and implementation teams to address synthesis, timing, DFT issues for the ASIC implementation. You understand all design integration activities like Lint, CDC, Synthesis & ECO. You will define the verification and test plan, run regressions, reproduce, and debug functional and performance bugs. You are responsible for the verification of various IPs/Sub IPs integrated to the top level SoC.
Lastly: you will have an understanding of the design synthesis and fix timing issues for the Physical Design team.
Requirements
You have strong programming and scripting skills: MATLAB, C/C++, Tcl Experience in setting up Power Distribution architecture, power intent specification and validation methodology.
