You are a passionate and experienced ASIC Digital Design Engineer with a strong background in design verification. You thrive in a collaborative environment and have a keen eye for detail. Your technical expertise is complemented by your ability to communicate effectively and work well within a team. You are self-motivated and enthusiastic about technology and problem-solving. With a minimum of 5 years of experience in design verification, you have honed your skills in using simulation tools, scripting languages, and advanced verification techniques. You have a solid understanding of digital and mixed-signal designs and are eager to contribute to cutting-edge technologies that enable Data Center, AI/ML, and 5G applications.

Responsibilities & Technical Execution:

• Resolve significant and unique technical challenges, analyzing complex situations and data—including intangibles and trade-offs—to determine the most appropriate actions.
• Exercise independent judgment in selecting and applying advanced verification methods, techniques, tools, and evaluation criteria to achieve critical project and business outcomes.
• Lead technical direction and execution for mission-critical projects, serving as the top technical authority and providing final sign-off on major design and verification decisions.
• Develop, refine, and standardize verification methodologies, frameworks, and best practices, ensuring their adoption across teams and projects.
• Coordinate and align global, cross-functional teams (Design, DFT, Analog, Software, Validation, Customer) to drive informed decision-making and resolve conflicts.
• Mentor, motivate, and influence engineers at all levels, fostering a collaborative and high-performance culture both internally and with external partners.
• Proactively manage and resolve technical and organizational conflicts, and continuously improve verification and development processes to balance quality, schedule, and scalability.
• Demonstrate strong business awareness, understanding customer impact, product strategy, risk management, and cost/schedule trade-offs; make critical decisions that directly influence product quality, customer success, and business outcomes.
• Guide and participate in the development and validation of complex digital and mixed-signal verification solutions for high-speed interface IP.
• Define and review verification strategies, including test plans, checklists, coverage, assertion planning, and closure metrics.
• Architect and oversee the creation of robust verification environments from functional and micro-architecture specifications.
• Drive the application of advanced verification techniques such as constrained random generation, functional coverage, assertions, and formal verification.
• Review and ensure quality of test cases, checkers, scoreboards, and coverage models against verification objectives.
• Lead and troubleshoot complex simulation and debug efforts, including mixed-signal and real-number modeling using SystemVerilog.
• Oversee RTL, GLS, co-simulation, and coverage closure across projects.
• Lead and participate in technical and architectural reviews, providing guidance on risk, quality, and readiness.
• Act as a senior technical interface for customers, supporting IP bring-up, debugging, and methodology alignment in customer simulation environments.
• Champion continuous improvement of verification flows, automation, and development processes to ensure scalable, high-quality delivery

What You’ll Need:

• BS/MS/PhD in Electronics Engineering, Electromechanics, Telecommunications.
• 10+ years of experience in design verification.
• Strong skills with VCS/Verdi simulation tools and formal verification tools (vc_formal).
• Knowledge of UPF, UVM (Universal Verification Methodology), and SVA (SystemVerilog Assertion) is a plus.
• Proficiency in debugging and demonstrated experience in Perl/TCL/Python scripting is a plus.

Who You Are:

• Highly responsible and result-oriented.
• Excellent English communication skills, both verbal and written.
• A great team player, willing to support others.
• Self-motivated and highly enthusiastic about technology and solving problems.

The Team You’ll Be A Part Of:

You will join a highly motivated and talented engineering team in Vietnam, working alongside experts from around the world. The team is dedicated to developing and validating complex digital and mixed-signal IP, driving innovation in Data Center, AI/ML, and 5G applications.
