Staff/Sr. Staff Design Verification

As a Design Verification Engineer at Lightmatter, you will find yourself at the heart of a dynamic, interdisciplinary team. Your role will involve close collaboration with our digital design experts, using UVM testbench techniques to rigorously verify their designs. Your responsibilities will include working alongside photonic and analog designers, gaining a deep understanding of their innovative designs, and applying Real Number Modeling (RNM) and AMS verification methods. This critical function ensures the integrity of their work. We are hiring at multiple levels.

Your interaction with the Architecture team will be crucial in comprehending system requirements and spearheading performance verification. This role offers a unique platform to enhance your skills across a spectrum of areas including UVM, AMS modeling, mixed-signal verification, post-silicon validation formal verification, emulation, and both performance modeling and verification.

Responsibilities

• Define and enhance the DV methodologies required for integrated digital, analog, and photonic devices with a strong emphasis on emulation for design verification.
• Create and execute test plans to ensure high-quality tapeouts that meet functional and performance goals, while leveraging emulation where appropriate.
• Collaborate with architects, DV engineers, digital designers, and analog/photonics designers to define validation flows.
• Create reusable and scalable test bench components that enable efficient and effective verification.
• Close coverage and finish all DV signoff requirements, with a focus on leveraging mixed signal simulations to achieve high coverage metrics
• Work on block level and full chip design verification.
• Integrate analog design IPs from vendors and internal teams and develop verification environments for simulation and emulation.
• Work with analog design engineers to create behavioral models for analog designs and with digital design engineers to integrate models/testcase/checkers into upper levels

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, a related field, or equivalent experience
• Minimum of 8 years of design verification and SystemVerilog experience
• 2+ years of experience in Python
• Expertise in developing with the UVM library
• Experience with simulators such as Xcelium, ModelSim, Questa, or VCS
• Strong problem solver and collaborator

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, a related field, or equivalent experience with 6 years of relevant experience
• Experience with post-silicon validation and debug
• Experience with AMS verification

This role is open to multiple levels. Education, years of experience, and interview performance will be the determining factor for leveling.
