Principal Verification Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Principal Verification Engineer (ASIC & Networking)

• Focus: IP, subsystem, and full SoC verification for a modem and DSP-intensive digital beamformer

Description

You will lead verification for chip-level and complex subsystem scope for TeraWave’s first in-house silicon program, helping define verification strategy, methodology, and infrastructure from the ground up.

The role spans simulation and formal methods with processor-driven SoC testing, and includes building an AI-enabled verification platform (LLM-assisted stimulus/testbench generation, automated regression triage, and data-driven coverage closure).

Architects and modeling engineers will support your ramp, with emphasis on verification judgment and system-level thinking.

Responsibilities

• Lead verification through sign-off for chip and complex subsystems, collaborating with global teams

• Own verification strategy, test plans, and measurable coverage goals for assigned subsystems and SoC

• Identify verification gaps, propose methodology changes, and implement them

• Act as subject-matter expert; set technical direction and resolve escalated verification issues

• Architect reusable verification environments, reference models, and infrastructure across IP/subsystem/SoC

• Drive regression health, coverage closure, and sign-off readiness across simulation and formal results

• Review testbench architecture and debug approaches; mentor engineers on verification methodology

• Partner with design, architecture, and modeling teams to align verification with program milestones

Requirements

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)

• 10+ years of professional experience in ASIC or SoC functional verification

• Hands-on expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM testbench development, plus metric-driven verification

• Experience as verification technical lead on at least one taped-out silicon program

• Willingness to travel up to 10% to other team locations

Benefits

• Culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion

• Opportunity to build verification capabilities and infrastructure from scratch, with growth as the program scales
