Asic Design Verification Engineer

Description:

ASIC Design Verification Engineer

Austin, Texas

This is not a remote work opportunity

Hybrid work schedule

Your Work Powers the World's 5G Networks

Not a simulation. Not a demo environment. Production silicon running inside live 5G infrastructure across the globe.

At Ericsson, the ASICs our IP teams build are the backbone of next-generation 5G networks — and the verification engineers who prove they work are the last line of defense before silicon hits the real world. If you're the kind of engineer who gets energized by hunting down the hardest bugs, building verification environments from the ground up, and knowing that your work ships — this is your role.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll join Ericsson's ASIC IP organization — a growing, world-class semiconductor team — where you'll take on real ownership across the full verification stack. Expect to dig deep into:

TLM modeling — building transaction-level models that drive early architectural verification

Block- and Top-Level ASIC/IP Verification — owning coverage closure from block to chip

Testbench architecture — designing and building UVM environments from scratch, not inheriting someone else's shortcuts

SW-driven verification — bridging the gap between hardware and embedded software to verify real-world behavior

This isn't a role where you maintain existing infrastructure. You'll build things, break things, and find the bugs that matter — all in a fast-moving team where your contributions are visible and your growth is a priority.

What You Bring

Several years of hands-on, in industry RTL verification experience in IP, ASIC, SoC.

Deep, practical experience with SystemVerilog and UVM

Proven ability to architect and build testbenches from the ground up

Block- and/or top-level RTL debug experience — you know how to find what's hiding in the waveform

IP familiarity in one or more of: SerDes, PCIe, ARM Subsystems, DSPs/Accelerators, or Ethernet

Scripting proficiency — TCL, Python, Perl, or equivalent

Clear, confident communicator — you can explain what you found and why it matters

Highly Desired Experience:

Experience developing full test plans and directed/randomized test cases from scratch

Object-oriented programming chops that show up in your verification code

Embedded software design and test experience

Fluency in the standard Linux/GIT/LSF development environment

Hands-on experience with AMBA APB, AXI, ACE-Lite, or CHI interfaces

Familiarity with computer architecture — CPU pipelines, memory hierarchies, cache coherency protocols

Early leadership instincts and the hunger to grow them

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience.

Why Ericsson?

Ericsson has been making bold bets for over a century — and we're not slowing down. Here, you won't be building for the status quo. You'll be building what replaces it.

What that looks like day to day:

A speak-up culture where your ideas get heard and your expertise gets respected

Real career mobility — hundreds of opportunities across locations worldwide, in every technical direction you want to grow

A team where co-creation and collaboration aren't buzzwords — they're how the best work gets done

Genuine commitment to work-life balance and an inclusive environment where every background and perspective makes the work stronger
