at waveworks

• Job title: Digital Verification Engineer
• Job type: Contract
• Experience level: Mid level, Senior
• Salary: Not specified
• Degree requirement: Bachelor's Degree
• Tech skills: Python
• Location requirements: Hybrid, Seattle, United States

About the role

• Digital Verification Engineer verifying SystemVerilog IP for a wireless SoC with simulation methodologies. Collaborate with design and architecture teams to drive verification strategy and practices.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain simulation-based verification environments for SystemVerilog RTL (UVM and/or cocotb-based flows).
• Create scalable testbenches, drivers/monitors, scoreboards, reference models, and coverage (functional/code) to validate IP and SoC behavior.
• Build and execute constrained-random and directed tests; debug failures across RTL, testbench, and tool flows.
• Define verification plans, coverage goals, and bring-up strategies in collaboration with design and architecture.
• Drive regressions and continuous integration for verification, including test triage, automation, and reporting.
• Contribute to verification best practices (assertions, checkers, reuse, documentation) across the Core Platform.

Requirements

• BS/MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years of digital verification experience (or equivalent), including verification of non-trivial IP blocks and/or SoCs.
• Strong SystemVerilog skills and comfort reading/debugging RTL.
• Hands-on experience with at least one simulation-based verification methodology: UVM (SystemVerilog class-based verification), and/or cocotb (Python-based verification) or similar framework, with modern verification practices.
• Proficiency debugging simulation issues (waveforms, logs, assertions) and working with common EDA simulators.
• Experience verifying complex systems (multi-clock domains, bus fabrics, interrupts, DMA, low-power states, or similar SoC features).
• Solid scripting ability (Python preferred; bash/tcl a plus) for test automation and tooling.

• Waveworks is committed to a friendly and welcoming working environment.
