Digital Verification Engineer (Functional Verification)
We are seeking a highly skilled Digital Verification Engineer to join our team and contribute to the follow-up and oversight of the development and validation of next-generation SoC designs. This role is focused on functional verification at the RTL level, ensuring design correctness and compliance across complex high-speed and low-speed interfaces. It will involve little coding, so we are looking for Senior Engineers to oversee the activities and review coding.
This will be for a permanent employment opportunity with full remote working conditions based anywhere in Spain, OR for a remote team based in Cairo.
Key Responsibilities
* Develop and execute functional verification plans for complex SoC subsystems.
* Follow up on and oversee verification activities throughout the development lifecycle
* Create and maintain verification environments, testbenches, and test cases
* Verify high-speed and low-speed interfaces (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet, DDR, AXI, I2C, SPI, UART, etc.)
* Analyze functional coverage, identify gaps, and drive closure
* Debug simulation failures and work with design teams to resolve issues
* Verify low-speed control/debug interfaces including SPI, JTAG, and SMBus.
* Validate integration of embedded microcontroller cores (ARC32 or RISC-V).
* Verify AXI-based system interconnects and bus protocols.
* Track functional and code coverage, driving verification closure.
* Collaborate closely with design and architecture teams to root-cause issues and ensure robust RTL sign-off.
Required Skills & Experience
* Solid background in Front-End (RTL-level) Functional Verification.
* Hands-on experience with SystemVerilog, UVM, assertions (SVA), and coverage-driven verification.
* Familiarity with protocol verification IP (VIP) for PCIe, CXL, AXI, or equivalent.
* Strong knowledge of high-speed and low-speed interface protocols.
* Experience verifying embedded processors or microcontrollers (RISC-V, ARC, or similar).
* Proven ability to debug complex design/verification issues.
Nice to Have
* Experience with performance verification and system-level test scenarios.
* Knowledge of verification acceleration/emulation flows.
* Familiarity with formal verification techniques.
