About the Role

As a Senior Modem Design Verification Engineer, you will ensure the functional correctness and performance of digital modem designs for low-power wireless products. You will collaborate with design, architecture, and system teams to develop verification strategies, build test environments, and debug complex issues across PHY/MAC layers, contributing throughout the product lifecycle from design to silicon bring-up.

Responsibilities

Define and execute verification strategies for digital modem designs across key wireless use cases.
Develop and maintain scalable verification environments using SystemVerilog/UVM or similar methodologies.
Create test plans, test benches, and stimuli to achieve high functional and coverage closure.
Debug and analyze design issues, working closely with design and architecture teams to resolve them.
Track and drive functional and code coverage to ensure verification completeness.
Collaborate cross-functionally with firmware, validation, and system teams to ensure correct system behavior.
Support silicon bring-up and correlate pre-silicon verification with post-silicon results.
Continuously improve verification methodologies, tools, and automation workflows.

Requirements

BSEE/CE or a related field.
Solid understanding of digital design fundamentals and verification concepts.
5–8 years of experience in digital design verification, with a focus on modem or wireless PHY designs preferred.
Experience with SystemVerilog and UVM or similar verification methodologies.
Strong debugging skills with experience analyzing simulation results and identifying root causes.
Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python or Perl for automation.
Basic understanding of wireless communication systems or digital signal processing concepts.
Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.
Experience verifying wireless standards such as BLE, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, or similar technologies.
Experience with advanced verification techniques such as constrained-random, coverage-driven verification, and SystemVerilog assertions (SVA).
Familiarity with C/C++ or MATLAB for algorithm modeling and reference model development.
Experience with mixed-signal or system-level verification, including co-simulation with analog/RF components.
Exposure to post-silicon validation, lab bring-up, and correlation with pre-silicon results.
Experience with low-power design verification and power-aware methodologies.
