ACL Digital - Austin, TX
Apply NowJob Description
We are looking for a Senior SoC Design Verification Engineer - responsible for developing the verification environment, testbench components, firmware-driven testing, and infrastructure for a next-generation mixed-signal SoC. The engineer will lead development of new BFMs, porting of existing testbench components, creating test suites, enabling automated regressions, and driving coverage closure across digital-analog interfaces, SPI flash flows, and new cross-chip communication protocols. Testbench Architecture & Development Upgrade and enhance the Digital Analog Model to support MSIC-specific analog array size, new DAC control features, and programming behavior. Develop compile/load flows for Quad-SPI Flash using vendor models (e.g., Winbond), including make file updates and per-test case memory image generation. Architect and implement the Controller BFM, enabling single/burst R/W transactions, protocol checking, and full integration into the verification environment. Evaluate, develop, and BFM based on updated design requirements. Update JTAG access modules to support expanded TAP chains, multi-TAP routing, and ARM DAP interactions. Maintain and reuse / port UART capture/display modules for firmware printf/debug use-cases. Required Skills & Experience 8-12 years of experience in SoC Verification with strong proficiency in: Verilog-HDL C test development at SoC level SV Assertions TCL/Python/Shell scripting Experience with: Protocol Knowledge (JTAG, SPI, UART, serial communication protocols and AMBA APB, AHB interconnect protocols) Gate-level simulation & SDF flows Coverage tools and methodologies (functional + code coverage) Hands-on experience debugging complex SoC issues involving ARM subsystems. Preferred Qualifications Prior work on mixed-signal or digital-analog interface verification. Understanding of AHB/APB/AXI interconnects. Exposure to version control like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar.
