ASIC Verification Engineer (PCIe)

Job Overview

SSN Sweden is seeking an experienced ASIC Verification Engineer with strong expertise in PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express). This role involves validating complex ASIC/SoC designs, ensuring high-quality silicon delivery, and contributing to the development of scalable and efficient verification environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and execute detailed verification strategies for ASIC/SoC components, with a strong focus on PCIe IP and associated subsystems
• Develop, optimize, and maintain verification environments using SystemVerilog and UVM methodologies
• Create reusable testbenches, verification components, and structured test cases
• Perform functional validation, regression testing, and coverage-driven verification to ensure design quality
• Analyze and debug issues across RTL, gate-level, and system-level implementations
• Collaborate closely with design, architecture, and firmware teams to resolve technical challenges
• Ensure compliance with PCIe standards (Gen3/Gen4/Gen5 or higher) through systematic validation
• Integrate and utilize Verification IP (VIP) for PCIe and other supported protocols
• Track verification progress, monitor coverage metrics, and provide regular status updates

Educational Qualification

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong background in ASIC/SoC verification
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM-based verification techniques
• Hands-on experience with PCIe protocol verification
• Solid understanding of digital design concepts including RTL, FSMs, timing analysis, and clock domain crossing
• Experience with simulation tools such as VCS, Questa, or Xcelium
• Expertise in debugging techniques and waveform analysis

Preferred Skills

• Experience with PCIe LTSSM, link training, and transaction layer debugging
• Knowledge of high-speed interfaces such as Ethernet, USB, or DDR
• Exposure to formal verification or emulation platforms
• Scripting skills in Python, Perl, or Tcl
• Familiarity with assertion-based verification (SVA) and coverage methodologies
• Knowledge of low-power verification standards (UPF/CPF)

Soft Skills

• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
• Effective communication and teamwork skills
• Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced, collaborative environment

Additional Advantages (Nice to Have)

• Experience with PCIe compliance testing
• Exposure to post-silicon validation
• Basic knowledge of C/C++ for test development
