IC Verification Engineer

We are recruiting in the Engineering group at Pragmatic Semiconductor! We are looking for an IC Verification Engineer to join our established, high-performing IC Design team in Cambridge. Reporting to the Senior IC Verification Engineer, you will be responsible for executing verification strategies to ensure right-first-time tapeouts.

Applying verification domain knowledge, this position requires close collaboration with both digital and analog designers, and the ability to proactively report results and debug issues.

We are looking for candidates with a solid understanding of verification methologies and techniques (with UVM - Universal Verification Methodology - highly desirable) and excellent cross-functional communication.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a cohesive and dynamic team during a critical period at Pragmatic Semiconductor, with significant opportunities to learn and develop.

Develop appropriate verification methodologies for mixed-signal IP and FlexIC's

Work closely with design engineers to interpret design specifications

Create test bench environments to fully exercise designs

Proactively debug failures and provide verification feedback to designers

Create verification reports and statistics at different stages of design flow

You will ideally be educated to Degree/post-graduate/PhD level in a field such as Electronic Engineering, or will possess equivalent experience.

ESSENTIAL

Understanding of verification methodologies and techniques

Ability to understand design specifications and to define verification methodologies

Experience in using System Verilog

Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written

Ability to work to tight deadlines and progress multiple projects simultaneously

DESIRABLE

Experience in UVM (highly desirable)

Knowledge of mixed-signal verification techniques (RNM, Verilog-AMS)

Knowledge of Gate level simulations

Proficiency in Formal Verification

Experience in defining and implementing functional, code and toggle coverage

Experience in post-tapeout bring-up and HW-SW debug

Knowledge of DFT and ATPG

Candidates who do not meet every requirement but feel their skills are a good fit for the role the role are encouraged to apply.
