Lead Engineer – IC Verification

Overview

Lead IC Verification Engineer on the Modem team, verifying complex digital RTL baseband and PHY-layer IPs used in Silicon Labs' Wi-Fi and low-power IoT wireless SoCs.

What you'll do

• Develop and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM-based verification environments for modem digital baseband and PHY-layer IPs.
• Design and implement module-level and subsystem-level testbenches, including drivers, monitors, agents, scoreboards, and coverage models.
• Define and execute comprehensive verification plans to ensure functional correctness and design quality.
• Drive constrained-random verification, functional coverage, and coverage closure.
• Perform bit-exact verification by integrating C-based algorithmic reference models into verification environments.
• Verify complex mixed-signal datapath and PHY-layer modules used in wireless communication systems.
• Debug complex RTL and testbench issues, working closely with design and system engineering teams to identify root causes.
• Collaborate across functional teams to resolve integration challenges and ensure successful IP verification and delivery.
• Participate in design reviews, verification planning, and continuous improvement of verification methodologies.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Communication Engineering, or a related field.
• 7–15 years of experience in RTL Design Verification, preferably involving mixed-signal datapath, modem baseband, or PHY-layer modules.
• Strong hands-on expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM verification methodologies.
• Experience developing UVM testbench components such as agents, drivers, monitors, scoreboards, and coverage models.
• Strong understanding of constrained-random testing, functional coverage, and coverage closure.
• Experience integrating C-based reference models for bit-exact functional verification.
• Good understanding of digital communication systems and PHY-layer concepts.
• Strong debugging, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Nice to have

• Experience with IEEE 802.11 Wi-Fi, 4G/5G cellular, or other OFDM-based communication systems.
• Hands-on experience verifying wireless modem baseband and digital signal processing IPs.
• Knowledge of DSP blocks such as FFT, FIR filters, correlators, and FEC decoders.
• Experience working with mixed-signal verification environments and digital/analog interfaces.
• Experience with subsystem-level verification and integration of complex IPs into wireless SoCs.
• Ability to independently own verification activities and drive complex debugging and coverage closure.
• Experience with artificial intelligence (AI) powered tools and technologies used to enhance productivity, analysis, and decision-making.
