Principal ASIC Design Verification Engineer – Terawave

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential aerospace client developing next-generation satellite communication systems. We're seeking a Principal ASIC Design Verification Engineer to serve as a technical authority for verification of advanced ASICs enabling high-performance satellite connectivity hardware.

This is a leadership role where you'll define verification strategy across complex silicon programs and establish robust methodologies for functionally complex communication systems. You'll work at the intersection of hardware design, systems architecture, and verification excellence.

Responsibilities

• Define end-to-end verification strategy for large satellite communication ASIC or SoC programs
• Establish verification methodologies, infrastructure, and signoff criteria across block, subsystem, and SoC levels
• Lead verification planning for complex communication functions such as modem pipelines, FEC engines, digital beamforming, packet processing, and control fabrics
• Drive alignment among design, architecture, systems, firmware, and validation teams
• Evaluate verification completeness through coverage, assertions, formal analysis, emulation, and silicon correlation
• Resolve critical technical issues and direct root-cause analysis for complex functional failures
• Guide development of reusable VIP, reference models, and regression automation frameworks
• Mentor technical leaders and raise overall verification maturity across the organization
• Influence future verification roadmap, tool strategy, and reuse models

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications:

• BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 12+ years of ASIC/SoC verification experience
• Expert-level knowledge of System Verilog, UVM, assertions, and verification signoff methodology
• Proven success leading verification for complex chips or multiple tape-outs
• Strong understanding of communication signal-processing hardware and system-level integration
• Excellent technical leadership and cross-organizational communication skills
• Must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum due to export control regulations

Preferred Qualifications:

• Deep expertise in satellite communications, digital modems, phased-array processing, or payload processing
• Experience with formal property verification, emulation, and performance validation
• Familiarity with fault tolerance, mission-critical reliability, or radiation-aware verification considerations
• Experience with architectural modeling and verification planning for hardware/software partitioned systems
• Strong record of technical innovation and process improvement
