Senior ASIC Verification Engineer
This role has been designed as "Onsite" with an expectation that you will primarily work from an HPE office.
Who We Are:
Hewlett Packard Enterprise is the global edge-to-cloud company advancing the way people live and work. We help companies connect, protect, analyze, and act on their data and applications wherever they live, from edge to cloud, so they can turn insights into outcomes at the speed required to thrive in today's complex world.
Job Description:
This is a Hybrid role based in Sunnyvale, CA with an expectation that you'll be in the office 2 days per week.
HPE Networking is a leading provider of advanced routers and switches for the internet. We keep the world connected with speed, reliability, security, and ease of use. At HPE Networking Silicon group, we push the boundaries of what is possible in a piece of silicon die. We build cutting edge networking chips used to build our world-class routers and switches.
As part of our fast-paced silicon group, you will become an expert in building high-speed ASICs, from specifications to final netlist. We give you opportunities to work on complex modules and subsystems where you can challenge yourself and grow.
Position Summary
We are seeking a highly motivated Senior ASIC Verification Engineer to join our networking silicon development team.
Key Responsibilities:
•Own and drive block-level or subsystem verification efforts, from creating test plans to achieving comprehensive coverage closure.
•Develop, enhance, and maintain advanced UVM verification environments, including agents, sequences, scoreboards, virtual sequences, and register models.
•Perform constraint-driven random testing, debug complex SoC designs, and ensure functional coverage and assertion goals are met.
•Analyze simulation results using industry-leading simulation tools (e.g., Cadence Xcelium, Synopsys VCS, Mentor Questa) and debug waveforms to validate design functionality.
•Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify and resolve issues, ensuring high-quality ASIC/SoC deliverables.
Required Skills and Qualifications:
•10+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC verification with a proven track record of owning verification from test plan to coverage closure.
•Strong expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM methodology, including developing environments from scratch.
•Deep understanding of randomization, constraints, functional coverage, and assertions (SVA).
•Hands-on experience in test planning, coverage analysis, and debugging of complex SoC designs.
•Proficiency with industry-standard simulation tools (e.g., Cadence Xcelium, Synopsys VCS, Mentor Questa) and waveform debugging.
Preferred Skills and Experience:
•Experience verifying networking ASICs or router datapath/control blocks, such as packet processing, forwarding engines, or fabric interfaces.
•Familiarity with high-speed interconnects, buffers, or scheduling pipelines in large networking SoCs.
•Exposure to emulation environments, hardware acceleration, or traffic-model integration.
•Knowledge of coverage analytics, regression dashboards, and continuous-integration flows (e.g., Jenkins).
•Understanding of low-power (UPF) or formal verification methodologies.
•Own and drive block-level/subsystem/FullChip verification efforts, from creating test plans to achieving comprehensive coverage closure.
•Experience with post-silicon bring-up and debug is a plus.
•Familiarity with emulation environments and debug flows is desirable.
What We Can Offer You:
•Health & Wellbeing: A comprehensive suite of benefits that supports physical, financial and emotional wellbeing.
•Personal & Professional Development: Specific programs catered to helping you reach your career goals.
•Unconditional Inclusion: An inclusive environment celebrating individual uniqueness, with flexibility to manage work and personal needs.
