Senior Engineer - Frontend CAD

Join our Team
About this opportunity:
Are you a hands-on engineer and ready to shape the future of silicon verification methodology and tools on a global scale?
Join our Design Verification Methodology team - a newly established global group defining methodologies and EDA workflows across our R&D sites in Bangalore, Austin, Stockholm, and Lund.
We are part of the Ericsson Silicon engineering unit, developing state-of-the-art ASICs and FPGAs at advanced technology nodes for Ericsson's 5G and 6G product portfolio. Our environment offers deep technical challenges, opportunities for growth, and a wealth of expertise to learn from. Last year we started a new Silicon R&D center in Bangalore, ready to join?
You will do:

• In this high-visibility role, you will shape the next generation of Front-End CAD (FECAD) methodologies, DV flows, and infrastructure for ASIC IP and SoC development.
• Major part of your work is to work with DV activities of our proprietary tools development.
• Your impact will be central in optimizing methodologies and EDA workflows, driving efficiency and innovation across our global silicon engineering community.
• We are particularly interested in individuals with exposure to or interest in applying AI/ML techniques to silicon design and verification - a significant plus as we invest in AI-driven design automation .
• If you thrive on solving technical challenges, spotting opportunities for improvement, and driving continuous innovation, we'd love to have you on our team.

You will bring:

• Deep expertise in Testbench Architecture using SystemVerilog and UVM at IP, ASIC, and/or SoC level.
• Previous hands-on experience in scripting (Python, Perl, bash, csh, etc.).
• Strong knowledge of layered UVM environments , reusable testbench components, and block/subsystem/SoC-level verification strategies.
• Solid understanding of directed and constrained-random verification , SVA, functional and code coverage closure.
• Proficiency with front-end EDA tools: Verilog simulators, RTL/verification linters, CDC checkers, and formal verification.
• Experience with CI methodologies and tools (e.g., Jenkins).
• Strong grasp of modern silicon design methodologies and verification best practices.
• Experience collaborating across geographically distributed teams .
• Excellent communication skills and a strong sense of ownership in solving complex infrastructure challenges.
• Exposure to AI/ML applications in design and verification flows (e.g., testbench optimization, anomaly detection, coverage prediction) is a significant advantage .

Responsibilities:

• Lead the development, verification, deployment, and support of complex front-end DV tools / flows.
• Identify and solve flow, methodology, and tool inefficiencies across IP/ASIC/SoC environments; productize solutions to improve silicon quality and verification productivity.
• Drive innovation in design and verification processes, including AI-based enhancements.
• Collaborate closely with design, verification, test, and manufacturing teams to align on methodology, quality, and timelines.
• Troubleshoot technical challenges and implement scalable, long-term solutions.
• Foster a collaborative, forward-looking culture within the verification community.

Education & Experience

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 10+ years of relevant experience in ASIC design verification.
