Ethernet Design Verification Engineer Role Summary:
We are looking for an Ethernet DV Engineer to verify high-speed Ethernet IP and subsystems, ensuring full protocol compliance and functional correctness prior to tapeout.
Responsibilities:
- Develop and maintain UVM-based verification environments/testbenches for Ethernet MAC/PHY IP
- Write test plans and directed/random test cases covering Ethernet protocol layers (PCS, PMA, MAC)
- Verify compliance with IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standards across relevant speed grades (1G/10G/25G/50G/100G/400G)
- Perform functional coverage analysis and drive coverage closure
- Debug simulation failures and collaborate with design teams to root-cause issues
- Develop and reuse verification IP (VIP) for Ethernet interfaces
- Participate in regression testing and continuous integration for verification sign-off
- Support post-silicon validation and correlate simulation results with lab findings
Required Skills:
- SystemVerilog
- UVM
- Ethernet protocol knowledge (IEEE 802.3)
- Verification IP development
- Simulators (VCS/Questa/Xcelium)
- Scripting (Python/Perl/Tcl)
Experience:
5–16 years in DV/verification roles, Ethernet protocol experience strongly preferred
