Design Verification Applications Engineer

​​​​​​Synopsys UK is seeking a highly motivated engineer for an Applications Engineering role in the Customer Success Group for Digital Design Verification, which is the most important step of the product development process.

The Design Verification Applications Engineer collaborates with customers and aims to confirm that the design complies with the Protocol Standards and System Requirements before it is developed into a chip.  Exhaustively verifying functionality in the design phase allows engineers to catch bugs early in the development cycle where they are cheaper and easier to fix.  Designs have become more complex due to the decrease in process node technology and to the increase in the number of logic blocks hence the high demand for digital design verification engineers.

This is an individual contributor opportunity to work independently with Sales, R&D and other field teams to ensure customers and Synopsys goals are met.

What you will learn:

• Collaborating with customers on improving their verification flows
• Understanding of Verification Testplans, strategies.
• Intermediate/Expert understanding constrained-random System Verilog testbenches using a Verification Methodology such as UVM (Universal Verification Methodology) or VMM (Verification Methodology Manual)
• Creating and examining Functional Coverage
• Writing SystemVerilog assertions
• Debugging RTL and gate-level simulation failures
• Firmware Debug
• Bug Tracking using Software Tools such as Jira
• SystemVerilog analog behaviour modelling
• Code Coverage Analysis
   

Skill Requirements:

• Typically requires 1-3 years of experience.
• Familiar with Verilog and SystemVerilog
   

Education Requirements:

• Graduated in a Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering program, or similar.
