Senior Staff RTL Verification Engineer

Team: IT

Location: US

Commitment: Full-time

Workplace Type: remote

Accountabilities

• Drive RTL verification activities for next-generation RAIN RFID Reader ICs across the full product development lifecycle, from early architecture through tape-out and production.
• Define and implement modern verification methodologies, infrastructure, and processes that improve design quality, coverage, and development efficiency.
• Develop SystemVerilog testbenches, bus functional models, subsystem behavioral models, architectural checkers, reusable sequences, and other verification components.
• Create and execute both directed and constrained-random tests to validate complex functionality and achieve comprehensive functional coverage.
• Develop detailed verification plans and establish coverage metrics that provide confidence in design quality and tape-out readiness.
• Write SystemVerilog assertions, coverage monitors, and other automated checks to identify functional issues early and strengthen verification completeness.
• Develop CI/CD workflows, custom verification toolkits, and reporting solutions that automate repetitive tasks and improve overall verification productivity.
• Collaborate closely with digital logic, analog, test, systems, and other engineering teams to define requirements, resolve issues, and deliver new features and products.
• Support ongoing enhancements to existing products, including feature additions, performance improvements, and verification updates.
• Contribute technical leadership to verification strategy, methodology improvements, and best practices across complex IC development programs.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline, with 12+ years of relevant experience; alternatively, 8+ years with a master's degree or 5+ years with a PhD.
• 12+ years of professional experience in RTL verification, including experience taking complex semiconductor designs through tape-out and production.
• Strong experience verifying microcontroller microarchitectures, complex finite-state machines, and sophisticated digital subsystems.
• Proven ability to create and implement comprehensive RTL functional verification plans for complex IC designs.
• Hands-on experience developing bus functional models, subsystem behavioral models, architectural checkers, and reusable verification infrastructure.
• Advanced proficiency in SystemVerilog and the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM).
• Strong experience developing SystemVerilog assertions, reusable sequences, coverage monitors, and functional coverage strategies.
• Experience defining verification metrics and using coverage analysis to assess design completeness and tape-out readiness.
• Familiarity with CI/CD systems and RTL coverage tools, with a demonstrated interest in improving verification automation and efficiency.
• Scripting proficiency in Python, Perl, Ruby, UNIX shell, or comparable automation languages.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to investigate complex verification issues and collaborate across engineering disciplines.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical issues and influence decisions across multidisciplinary teams.
• Ability to work independently while contributing effectively within a highly collaborative semiconductor engineering environment.
• Because the position involves technologies or data subject to U.S. export-control regulations, additional documentation regarding nationality or citizenship may be required to determine export compliance.
