Principal Verification Engineer

A leading semiconductor IP organisation is looking to hire a Principal Verification Engineer to support the development of high-performance memory controller IP used across data-intensive and next-generation compute applications.

As a Principal Verification Engineer you will:

• Define and architect scalable UVM-based verification environments for complex controller IP
• Develop self-checking testbenches, scoreboards, and coverage models to support metric-driven verification
• Create and deploy assertions for both simulation and formal verification flows
• Own and maintain verification plans, ensuring alignment between specification and coverage targets
• Drive regression strategy and automation in collaboration with CAD/flow teams
• Work closely with RTL designers to debug and resolve challenging corner-case scenarios
• Contribute to technical reviews and quality processes across the development lifecycle

This role requires someone comfortable operating at a senior technical level, influencing methodology decisions and mentoring others within the verification team.

What they’re looking for

• Strong background in SystemVerilog and UVM in a production environment
• Extensive experience verifying complex digital IP or SoC subsystems
• Solid understanding of RTL design principles and debug methodologies
• Proven experience with coverage-driven verification strategies
• Exposure to AMBA-based protocols (e.g., AXI or CHI) would be beneficial
