THE ROLE:
As a Design Verification Engineer Lead in the AECG Group, you will help bring to life cutting-edge FPGA and ASIC solutions for a broad range of customers. As a member of the front-end design and integration team, you will collaborate closely with architecture, IP design, physical design, firmware, and product engineering teams to deliver first-pass silicon success for next-generation PCIe and CXL-based IP solutions.
THE PERSON:
You are passionate about complex IP architectures, digital design, and advanced verification methodologies. You thrive in a collaborative environment, enjoy solving challenging technical problems, and have a proven ability to work effectively across global teams. You bring strong analytical skills, technical leadership, and a continuous learning mindset.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Collaborate with architects, hardware designers, and firmware teams to define and verify new PCIe, CXL, and high-speed connectivity features.
- Develop comprehensive verification plans that address feature interactions, hardware/software integration, performance requirements, and system-level use cases.
- Design and implement IP or subsystem-level UVM verification environments, including monitors, scoreboards, checkers, and reusable verification components.
- Develop directed and constrained-random tests, execute regressions, and debug failures to ensure high functional coverage and design quality.
- Drive verification automation, methodology improvements, and adoption of AI-assisted tools to improve development efficiency and productivity.
PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:
- ASIC/IP verification experience using UVM methodology.
- Strong expertise in SystemVerilog, Verilog, object-oriented programming, and UVM-based verification environments.
- Experience verifying high-speed protocols such as PCIe, CXL, Ethernet, PCIe Gen6, or 400G Ethernet.
- Proficiency in scripting and automation using Python, Perl, or similar languages.
- Experience working across the ASIC/FPGA development lifecycle from planning through tape-out.
- Exposure to performance verification, simulation optimization, acceleration technologies, HLS tools, or verification efficiency improvements.
- Technical leadership, mentoring experience, and strong communication skills within geographically distributed teams.
- Knowledge of computer architecture, system-level design concepts, and emerging AI-driven verification methodologies is a plus.
ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
LOCATION:
- Markham, ON
