  • Enhancing team capabilities by sharing knowledge, mentoring peers, and fostering a collaborative engineering environment.
  • Influencing the direction of future product development by providing valuable insights into design and verification challenges.

What You’ll Need:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE or MSEE) with a minimum of 10+ years of digital design/verification experience.
  • Proven experience in writing and maintaining testcases using SystemVerilog/UVM.
  • Strong debugging skills for complex testbench and design-related issues.
  • Solid understanding of digital circuit design concepts and principles.
  • Proficiency with scripting languages such as Python or Perl for automation and workflow enhancement.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a team in a dynamic engineering environment.
