We are seeking a highly driven Senior Design Verification Engineer for RTL functional verification of cutting-edge in‑vehicle networking devices within NXP’s next‑generation automotive product line. In this individual‑contributor role, you will architect, enhance, and maintain advanced UVM‑based and C‑based verification environments. You will define robust verification strategies, craft comprehensive test plans, and drive metric‑driven verification to full closure. You will collaborate closely with world‑class teams across Design, Architecture, Validation, and Firmware, ensuring seamless integration and adherence to rigorous automotive design and quality processes. This is an opportunity to shape the verification strategy of high‑impact automotive solutions that define reliability, safety, and performance for vehicles worldwide
Main Job Tasks and Responsibilities:
- Create robust verification architecture, verification testplan and verification metric closure documentation to comply with NXP verification and validation process.
- Architect and develop testbenches using System Verilog and UVM for functional and power aware RTL verification. Contribute to defining verification strategy (Directed, Constrained random and Formal) for IP, Sub-System and SoC verification.
- Develop UVM components like Agents (active and passive), Scoreboards and Environment etc., Develop Assertions, functional coverage.
- Develop Test plan, UVM based test sequences, layered sequences, virtual sequencers.
- Drive closure of verification metrics to cover verification space. Work with a team to identify and close gaps in Functional, Power aware and Gate level timing Simulation.
- Develop ‘C’ testcases for HW-FW Simulation and FPGA Prototyping.
- Regression setup, debug of RTL and Gate level Netlist.
- Work closely with Architecture, digital and analog design, DV and validation teams to ensure timely delivery of quality products
