About the Role:
Client's 5G R&D team is developing next-generation Open RAN Radio Units for 4G and 5G networks. As an FPGA Design Verification Engineer, you will play a key role in ensuring the functional correctness, robustness, and quality of FPGA-based designs used in high-performance wireless systems.
You will own verification activities for FPGA IP and subsystems, work closely with FPGA designers and system teams, and help define and deploy AI-assisted verification workflows to improve productivity and coverage in complex designs.
What You'll Do
Design Verification & Validation:
• Own and drive verification plans for FPGA IP and subsystems used in 4G/5G Radio Units.
• Design, implement, and maintain SystemVerilog / UVM verification environments.
• Develop constrained-random tests, assertions, and scoreboards.
• Run, debug, and analyze simulations using Synopsys VCS.
• Analyze functional, code, and assertion coverage and close coverage gaps.
• Perform independent root-cause analysis of RTL and system-level issues.
