ASIC Design Verification Engineer

About this opportunity:

ASIC Design Verification Engineer
Austin, Texas

This is not a remote work opportunity

Hybrid work schedule

Your Work Powers the World's 5G Networks
Not a simulation. Not a demo environment. Production silicon running inside live 5G infrastructure across the globe.

At Ericsson, the ASICs our IP teams build are the backbone of next-generation 5G networks — and the verification engineers who prove they work are the last line of defense before silicon hits the real world. If you're the kind of engineer who gets energized by hunting down the hardest bugs, building verification environments from the ground up, and knowing that your work ships — this is your role.

What You'll Be Doing
You'll join Ericsson's ASIC IP organization — a growing, world-class semiconductor team — where you'll take on real ownership across the full verification stack. Expect to dig deep into:

TLM modeling — building transaction-level models that drive early architectural verification
Block- and Top-Level ASIC/IP Verification — owning coverage closure from block to chip
Testbench architecture — designing and building UVM environments from scratch, not inheriting someone else's shortcuts
SW-driven verification — bridging the gap between hardware and embedded software to verify real-world behavior
This isn't a role where you maintain existing infrastructure. You'll build things, break things, and find the bugs that matter — all in a fast-moving team where your contributions are visible and your growth is a priority.

What You Bring

Several years of hands-on, in industry RTL verification experience in IP, ASIC, SoC.
Deep, practical experience with SystemVerilog and UVM
Proven ability to architect and build testbenches from the ground up
Block- and/or top-level RTL debug experience — you know how to find what's hiding in the waveform
IP familiarity in one or more of: SerDes, PCIe, ARM Subsystems, DSPs/Accelerators, or Ethernet
Scripting proficiency — TCL, Python, Perl, or equivalent
Clear, confident communicator — you can explain what you found and why it matters

Highly Desired Experience:

Experience developing full test plans and directed/randomized test cases from scratch
Object-oriented programming chops that show up in your verification code
Embedded software design and test experience
Fluency in the standard Linux/GIT/LSF development environment
Hands-on experience with AMBA APB, AXI, ACE-Lite, or CHI interfaces
Familiarity with computer architecture — CPU pipelines, memory hierarchies, cache coherency protocols
Early leadership instincts and the hunger to grow them

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience.
