Job Description

Principal Verification Engineer

Salary: Annual salary starting from €66,000, with the final offer depending on the candidate’s experience and qualifications.

Description

onsemi’s Power Management Division is seeking a Principal Verification Engineer with strong expertise in both block-level and SoC-level verification of integrated circuits. The ideal candidate has hands‑on experience with SystemVerilog, UVM and formal verification, and demonstrates a solid understanding of verification methodologies and coverage‑driven approaches.

You will work in a globally distributed team environment, extracting design intent from specifications and translating it into comprehensive verification strategies and plans to ensure maximum functional and code coverage.

Responsibilities

• Develop SoC, subsystem, and block‑level verification plans based on power management IC specifications.
• Build, maintain, and enhance scalable and reusable verification environments.
• Drive verification quality to achieve target functional and code coverage metrics.
• Promote and implement innovative verification methodologies and technologies.
• Ensure comprehensive verification of both hardware and firmware components.
• Analyze, debug, and root‑cause verification failures efficiently.
• Lead verification activities across the full lifecycle, from planning to silicon validation readiness, with focus on pre‑silicon quality.
• Collaborate closely with cross‑functional teams and communicate effectively through coverage reviews, design/code reviews, and project updates.

Qualifications

• BSEE/MSEE (or equivalent) with 7–10+ years of relevant experience.
• Strong expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM, including vertical reuse methodologies.
• Solid knowledge of industry‑standard EDA tools and verification flows.
• Proven experience in debugging complex verification issues.
• Hands‑on experience with Assertion‑Based Verification (SVA/PSL).
• Understanding of formal verification methodologies and their application to coverage closure.
• Proficiency in scripting languages such as Python, Tcl, or C‑shell.
• Experience in technical leadership and mentoring.
• Good understanding of analog and mixed‑signal IC architectures and integration challenges.

Nice to Have

• Experience with power‑aware verification (UPF/UCF).
• Exposure to AI/ML techniques applied to verification.
• Experience in HW/SW co‑verification environments.
• Familiarity with requirements and project management tools (e.g., JAMA, JIRA).
• Experience with multi‑phase switching regulators or power management systems.
