[Hiring] Senior Verification Engineer @DPP

Role Description

DPP is seeking a Senior Verification Engineer for an opportunity with our client in the Aerospace industry.

Work Location: Fully remote

Duration: 8 months

Terms: W2 Contract

As a Senior Verification Engineer on the ASIC & Networking team, you support clients’ first in-house silicon program, which comprises a high-throughput modem and a DSP-intensive digital beamformer with first tape out targeted for 2027. Verification strategy, methodology, and infrastructure are being defined now, and you help define them.

• The work spans IP, subsystem, and full SoC verification, including:
• CPU subsystems
• Performance-critical interconnects
• Security
• High-speed peripherals
• Modem datapath and PHY layers
• DSP and beamforming compute
• Mixed-signal interfaces
• You own a subset of this scope aligned to your background.
• The team treats constrained-random simulation, formal methods, and processor-driven SoC testing as equal first-class tools.
• Building an AI-enabled verification platform that includes:
• LLM-assisted stimulus and testbench generation
• Automated regression triage and failure clustering
• Data-driven coverage closure
• Engineers who build these capabilities will own them and grow with the program as it scales.
• Background in wireless communications, modem, baseband, and DSP verification is welcome but not required.
• Verification judgment and system-level thinking are weighted above domain background.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field, or 7+ years equivalent experience.
• Minimum five years of professional experience in ASIC or SoC functional verification.
• Hands-on expertise in SystemVerilog, UVM or formal testbench development and maintenance.
• Experience with metric-driven verification for planning, assertions, and functional coverage closure.
• Experience verifying complex digital control and datapath logic, including RTL and system-level debug.

Requirements

• Own verification planning and execution for complex blocks and subsystems, from test plan through sign-off.
• Translate design specifications into verification strategies, measurable coverage goals, and early identification of high-risk scenarios.
• Select verification methods for each problem, including constrained-random simulation, formal analysis, and directed testing.
• Develop verification environments, reference models, scoreboards, protocol monitors, coverage components, and assertions.
• Drive functional coverage closure, regression health, and sign-off readiness across simulation and formal results.
• Build verification infrastructure, regression and CI systems, and reuse strategy across IP, subsystem, and SoC levels.
• Apply and build AI-assisted verification capabilities for stimulus generation, regression triage, and coverage analytics.
• Review testbench architecture and debug methodology, and mentor junior engineers in verification methodology.

Preferred Qualifications

• Background in space-based communications, wireless communications, modem, baseband, or DSP hardware.
• Experience verifying LDPC, FEC, framing, or beamforming logic using bit-accurate reference models and fixed-point analysis.
• Formal verification experience on production silicon, including connectivity, register maps, arbitration, CDC, or security properties.
• Experience with interconnect or NoC verification covering performance, bandwidth, QoS, and deadlock analysis.
• Experience verifying fault tolerance and reliability features such as ECC, redundancy schemes, or fault injection.
• Experience developing C-based or portable stimulus for SoC, CPU boot, and firmware-driven test scenarios.
• Experience applying AI, ML, or LLM tooling to stimulus generation, regression triage, or coverage analysis.

Benefits

• DPP offers a range of compensation and benefits packages to our employees and their eligible dependents.
• DPP is a certified Woman-owned Small Business Enterprise (WBE and WOSB) with more than 25 years in the staffing industry.
• EOE/AA/V/D
