In short

Ericsson Silicon seeks an experienced Design Verification Engineer in Austin, Texas, to architect and verify custom IPs, ASICs, SoCs, and FPGA platforms using AI-driven methodologies. This role involves pioneering AI agentic workflows for test generation, debug, and coverage closure, working on cutting-edge designs for communication infrastructure and accelerators.

Responsibilities

Define Verification Strategies for complex Layer 1 accelerator ASICs, SoCs, and FPGA platforms.
Architect reusable UVM-based verification environments using SystemVerilog, integrating LLM-assisted test generation.
Deploy and develop AI agentic frameworks for autonomous triage of regression failures and log analysis.
Drive functional, code, and assertion coverage closure using ML-guided techniques.
Automate and optimize CI/CD pipelines using Python, Tcl, shell scripting, Jenkins, and Git.
Verify RTL and gate-level designs across simulation, emulation, FPGA prototyping, and post-silicon environments.
Leverage AI-assisted log analysis for debugging intricate issues.
Validate performance and functionality across proprietary interfaces, AMBA, PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, and SerDes.
Contribute to verification methodology evolution, embedding generative AI and automation tools.
Mentor junior engineers on verification techniques and modern AI tools.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related technical discipline.
6+ years of professional design verification experience for complex ASIC, SoC, FPGA, or semiconductor products.
Strong programming experience with SystemVerilog/Verilog.
Hands-on expertise developing and maintaining UVM-based environments.
Deep understanding of constrained-random verification, assertion-based verification, scoreboards, checkers, and coverage-driven signoff.
Strong scripting and automation skills using Python, Tcl, Perl, or shell scripting.
Experience with Git, Jenkins, and CI/CD pipelines.
Understanding of SoC/ASIC architectures, with exposure to Layer 1 accelerators, DSPs, AI/ML accelerators, RISC-V, or ARM Cortex processors.
Experience verifying standard interfaces such as AMBA AXI/AHB/APB, PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, or SerDes.
Strong written and verbal communication skills with proven track record of cross-functional collaboration.

Desired Qualifications

Practical experience integrating LLMs, custom coding assistants, or autonomous AI agents into hardware design, test generation, or debug loops.
Experience building custom Python-based automation frameworks that interface with EDA APIs or parse large-scale regression datasets using machine learning.
Experience with formal or semi-formal verification tools such as JasperGold.
Knowledge of clock-domain crossing (CDC), reset-domain crossing (RDC), low-power verification (UPF/CPF), or simulation-to-silicon correlation.
Exposure to C/C++, assembly (RISC-V/ARM), or hardware-software co-verification.
Familiarity with Jira, Confluence, and Agile development methodologies in semiconductor environments.

Benefits

Opportunity for an annual bonus based on business and individual performance.
Choice of three medical plan options and a dental plan option.
Company credits for medical and dental premiums.
401(k) Plan with automatic 3% company contribution and 4% match.
Company credits for basic life insurance, AD&D, short-term and long-term disability coverage.
Optional participation in Ericsson’s Stock Purchase Plan.
Minimum of 15 days of accrued vacation.
Up to 3 personal days per year.
11 annual holidays.
8 hours of volunteer time.
80 hours of sick time annually.
Up to 16 weeks of paid maternity leave.
6 weeks of parental or adoption leave at 100% of pay.
Financial wellness programs.
Educational assistance.
Matching gifts.
Recognition programs.
