Role & seniority: Design Verification Engineer (mid-level; individual contributor)

Stack/tools: RTL verification with SystemVerilog; UVM; Specman/e; scripting (Python, Perl, Shell/Bash); FPGA/ASIC verification; familiarity with CPU cores, hierarchical memory subsystems; SOC concepts

Top 3 responsibilities

Plan and execute verification of digital design blocks, understanding specs and coordinating with design engineers
Create/enhance constrained-random verification environments (SystemVerilog/UVM or Specman); develop coverage measures
Debug tests, drive verification closure, and lead coverage to identify holes and progress toward tape-out

Must-have skills

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent experience
~3 years of RTL-level verification experience (SystemVerilog or Specman/e) for FPGAs/ASICs
Experience building/using verification components and environments in standard methodologies; verifying digital systems with standard IP interconnects

Nice-to-haves

Master’s degree in EE, CS, or related field
Experience with UVM and/or SystemVerilog; scripting languages (Python, Perl, Shell/Bash)
Experience with CPU implementation, assembly language, or compute SOC
Location & work type: Not specified; likely full-time role with Google’s AI/Infrastructure hardware effort (server chip design team)
