ASIC Design Verification Engineer

K2 Space Corporation is a pioneering company focused on building high-power satellites for various missions. They are seeking an ASIC Design Verification Engineer to verify the functionality and performance of custom silicon designs, contributing to the verification approach and collaborating with various engineering teams.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and execute verification plans for block-level, subsystem-level, and full-chip environments
• Build SystemVerilog/UVM test benches, including agents, monitors, scoreboards, checkers, and coverage models
• Write SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) and integrate formal verification where appropriate
• Drive constrained-random and directed testing strategies to validate functionality, corner cases, and stress scenarios
• Run simulations, triage failures, drive root-cause analysis, and collaborate with RTL designers to resolve issues
• Implement and maintain functional coverage, code coverage, assertion coverage, and ensure coverage closure for sign-off
• Manage regression testing, simulation farms, and CI pipelines to ensure high test throughput and fast debug iterations
• Participate in design reviews and microarchitecture discussions

Requirements:

• B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 3+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC verification
• Solid understanding of SystemVerilog, digital logic, and hardware verification flows
• Proficiency with a simulation (VCS, Xcelium, Questa), waveform debug (Verdi, SimVision) and coverage tool
• Experience with test planning, testbench development, constrained-random testing, and coverage analysis
• Familiarity with a scripting language (ex: Python, Perl, TCL) and revision control system (ex: Git)
• Experience with UVM-based testbench development, functional coverage, SystemVerilog assertions, and regression management
• Familiarity with developing and integrating reference models
• Understanding of RTL design flows and some industry standard interfaces (ex: APB/AHB/AXI)
• Experience working in cross-functional, geographically distributed teams
• Experience in space, telecom, or RF/digital mixed systems is a plus
