Senior Staff Verification Engineer – Digital & Mixed Signal

Dublin | Hybrid | Permanent

The Role

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Senior Staff Verification Engineer to join the R&D organisation of a global technology company developing next-generation semiconductor solutions.

Working at IP, subsystem and SoC level, you will play a key role in defining verification strategies, developing scalable verification environments and ensuring complex digital and mixed-signal designs meet their functional and performance requirements.

This is a technically influential role for an experienced verification engineer who enjoys working on advanced semiconductor technologies, improving verification methodologies and collaborating closely with design and post-silicon teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Define verification strategies for digital and mixed-signal IP, subsystems and SoCs.

• Develop scalable and reusable verification infrastructure, testbenches and test cases.

• Apply verification methodologies including UVM, SystemVerilog and constrained-random verification.

• Develop and execute detailed verification plans.

• Create, debug and maintain constrained-random test suites.

• Apply functional and code coverage to measure verification progress and identify gaps.

• Support gate-level and power-aware verification activities.

• Collaborate closely with design teams throughout the development lifecycle.

• Support post-silicon teams with device bring-up and validation activities.

• Identify opportunities to improve verification methodologies, automation and overall efficiency.

• Contribute technical expertise to complex verification challenges and mentor less experienced engineers.

Technical Expertise

• Strong experience in digital and/or mixed-signal verification.

• Excellent knowledge of SystemVerilog, UVM and verification methodologies.

• Experience developing complex testbenches and verification environments.

• Strong understanding of functional and code coverage.

• Experience with constrained-random and directed verification approaches.

• Knowledge of gate-level and power-aware verification.

• Understanding of digital and mixed-signal design principles.

• Familiarity with interfaces and protocols such as AMBA, AXI, AHB, SPI, UART or LIN would be advantageous.

• Experience with formal verification would be beneficial.

Experience & Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering with approximately 5–7 years’ experience, or Bachelor’s degree with 7–9 years’ relevant experience.

• Proven experience in semiconductor verification, ideally at IP, subsystem or SoC level.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

• Ability to work across multiple projects and manage competing priorities.

• Strong communication and collaboration skills.

• A proactive approach to improving verification processes and methodologies.

• Experience in automotive semiconductor or functional safety / ISO 26262 environments would be advantageous.

• Excellent English communication skills.

What’s on Offer

• Join a global R&D organisation working on next-generation semiconductor technologies.

• Work on complex digital and mixed-signal IP and SoC verification.

• Opportunity to influence verification strategy, infrastructure and methodologies.

• Collaborate with highly skilled design, verification and post-silicon engineering teams.

• Exposure to advanced verification techniques and technologies.

• Strong opportunities for technical development and career progression.

• Hybrid working environment in Dublin.
