New Job Opportunity: Logic Verification Engineer – Houston or Burlington, TX or VT

Contact: Al Born      Ref: 8121

Position Summary:

Our client is seeking a Logic Verification Engineer to join our advanced memory design team. This role is responsible for verifying complex digital logic used in next-generation DRAM and memory products. The successful candidate will develop and execute comprehensive verification strategies to ensure design functionality, reliability, and performance prior to silicon fabrication.

Working closely with Design, Architecture, Physical Design, DFT, and Product Engineering teams, the Logic Verification Engineer will play a critical role in delivering high-quality memory solutions that meet demanding customer and market requirements.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain verification plans for digital logic blocks, memory controllers, and DRAM-related subsystems.
• Create and enhance SystemVerilog/UVM verification environments for block-level and chip-level verification.
• Design and execute directed, constrained-random, and coverage-driven test cases.
• Analyze architecture specifications and RTL implementations to define verification requirements and identify potential design risks.
• Develop assertions, scoreboards, checkers, and coverage models to ensure comprehensive functional verification.
• Perform simulation, debugging, and root-cause analysis of design and verification issues.
• Execute regression testing and monitor verification progress through functional and code coverage metrics.
• Collaborate with RTL designers to resolve functional bugs and improve design quality.
• Support verification of high-speed interfaces, memory timing logic, refresh management, power management, and error correction features.
• Participate in design reviews and provide recommendations to improve verification effectiveness and product quality.
• Assist with silicon bring-up and post-silicon validation activities when required.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of verification methodologies, automation frameworks, and engineering best practices.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline.
• 3+ years of experience in digital design verification within the semiconductor industry.
• Strong understanding of digital logic design principles, computer architecture, and semiconductor fundamentals.
• Hands-on experience with SystemVerilog and Universal Verification Methodology (UVM).
• Experience developing reusable verification environments and automated regression frameworks.
• Proficiency using industry-standard simulation and debugging tools such as Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium, or Siemens Questa.
• Experience with scripting languages including Python, Perl, TCL, or Shell scripting.
• Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with DRAM, DDR memory architectures, memory controllers, or memory interface verification.
• Knowledge of JEDEC memory standards and high-speed memory protocols.
• Experience with assertion-based verification and SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA).
• Familiarity with formal verification methodologies and tools.
• Understanding of low-power design and verification techniques.
• Experience with DFT, BIST, ECC, and memory reliability features.
• Knowledge of semiconductor manufacturing processes and memory product development cycles.
• Experience supporting tape-out activities and silicon validation.

Technical Skills:

• SystemVerilog
• UVM (Universal Verification Methodology)
• SVA (SystemVerilog Assertions)
• Functional and Code Coverage Analysis
• RTL Verification
• Formal Verification
• Python, Perl, TCL, Shell Scripting
• Synopsys VCS
• Cadence Xcelium
• Siemens Questa
• Git or Version Control Systems
• Linux Development Environment

Success Factors:

The successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to identify functional issues early in the development cycle, achieve verification coverage goals, improve verification efficiency through automation, and contribute to the successful delivery of high-quality DRAM and memory products.

About our client:

They are a leading memory semiconductor company specializing in the design, development, manufacturing, and marketing of DRAM products. The company is committed to advancing memory technologies through innovation, engineering excellence, and world-class manufacturing capabilities.
