ASIC Design Verification Engineer

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior ASIC Design Verification Engineer based in Canada.

• Own and execute digital SoC verification activities across the full verification lifecycle, from specifications through coverage analysis and gate-level simulation.
• Work closely with architects, digital designers, and software engineers to develop comprehensive verification and validation plans.
• Develop and maintain verification environments using industry-standard methodologies and reusable testbench architectures.
• Create, execute, and automate functional tests, regressions, and verification workflows.
• Analyze simulation results, debug failures, identify root causes, and collaborate with design teams to resolve issues.
• Develop coverage strategies and analyze functional and code coverage to identify verification gaps.
• Support verification activities across complex automotive communication semiconductor designs and systems.
• Contribute to the development of reusable pre-silicon and post-silicon test infrastructure.
• Automate testbench creation, test execution, regression processes, and EDA-related workflows where appropriate.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary and geographically distributed engineering teams throughout the design and verification process.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline.
• 10+ years of professional ASIC verification experience.
• Strong understanding of ASIC verification fundamentals, methodologies, and industry-standard verification practices.
• Hands-on experience with Verilog and SystemVerilog.
• Strong experience with UVM and verification environment development.
• Proficiency with Python and TCL scripting, with experience using C and/or C++.
• Comprehensive understanding of the ASIC verification flow, including specification analysis, test planning, simulation, coverage analysis, and gate-level simulation.
• Strong debugging skills, including the ability to trace simulation failures to their root causes.
• Experience designing modular and reusable testbench architectures.
• Experience with networking technologies such as Ethernet MAC/PHY, switching, TCP/IP, security, PCIe, or other industry-standard protocols is an advantage.
• Experience with video standards, protocols, or video processing is a plus.
• Knowledge of digital signal-processing filters is beneficial.
• Experience working with third-party IP such as SerDes, controllers, processors, or similar components is valuable.
• Knowledge of SystemC and/or DPI is a plus.

• Fully remote work opportunity in Canada.
• Potential future hybrid work flexibility for candidates located near the greater Toronto/Markham area.
• Competitive base salary.
• Pre-IPO stock options.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance for employees.
• Flexible working hours.
• Opportunity to work with cutting-edge semiconductor, networking, and intelligent-machine technologies.
