Position Summary:

We are looking for an exceptional Sr. FPGA Verification Engineer to join our world class FPGA development team in Austin, Texas. For more than 20 years, Trend Micro has been developing advanced multi million gate FPGAs that drive ultra high performance network packet processing and security acceleration. Our team delivers cutting edge hardware solutions for encryption/decryption, pattern matching, deep data extraction/analysis, and high speed system interfaces. If you are passionate about architecting scalable UVM environments, mastering SystemVerilog OOP, and driving verification excellence on FPGA designs—this role offers the challenge and impact you’re looking for.

As a Sr. FPGA Verification Engineer, you will own the development of advanced verification Testbench. You will design from the ground up, build reusable UVM verification components, create simulation cases and guide junior engineers in best in class methodologies.

Your responsibilities include:

• Develop UVM Testbenches for complex, high performance FPGA designs.

• Expert-level SystemVerilog OOP skills to create modular, scalable, and reusable verification environments.

• Leverage AI tools to accelerate high quality UVM and SystemVerilog testbench development.

• Strong skills in debug, failure re-creation and root cause analysis.

• Ownership of testbench development, including stimulus, driver, monitors, response checkers, assertions and coverage.

• Develop direct and constrained-random stimulus.

• Analyze functional and code coverage results to drive verification closure.

• Improving and refining the verification process, methodology, and metrics

• Collaborating closely with RTL designers to define, create and maintain the verification test plan.

Qualifications:

• BS or higher degree in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) or Electrical and Computer Engineering (BSECE) or Computer Science (BSCS).

• 7+ years of FPGA or ASIC design verification experience using UVM.

• Deep expertise in SystemVerilog, OOP principles, and UVM methodology.

• Proven ability to develop UVM testbenches from scratch and drive verification architecture decisions.

• Exceptional analytical, problem solving, communication, and leadership skills.

• Ability to collaborate and work in a team environment.

• Hands-on experience with simulation/debug tools i.e., VCS, Verdi, etc.

• Scripting experience (e.g., Python) for verification flow automation and productivity improvements.

• Familiarity with AXI4, AXI4 Stream, PCIe, or other high speed protocols is desirable.

• Experience integrating vendor provided VIPs in UVM environments is a plus.

• Understanding of networking protocols such as Ethernet, IP, TCP/UDP is a plus.

• Familiarity with major simulation and tool vendors is a plus.

• Experience with an AI-DLC workflow is a plus

• Experience with verification of AI engine IPs is a plus
