Own the development of a UVM based IP and SoC verification framework for Impnj’s next-generation RAIN RFID Reader ICs to assure A0 production worthy silicon
Deliver a parameterized, modular, scalable verification, validation methodology and automation framework, enabling AMS and Digital IPs to be seamlessly integrated across different Reader IC SoC products (Handheld versus fixed Reader)
Lead the definition and development of verification infrastructure such as coverage tools, bus functional models, subsystem behavioral models, RTL code, and System Verilog based test benches
Leverage your knowledge of advanced analog modeling techniques to enable efficient mixed signal co‑simulation and quantifiable analog coverage
Lead verification of externally and internally sourced IP blocks
Review and evaluate design verification plans developed by other engineers
Work with systems and hardware teams to develop and extend HW/SW co‑simulation capabilities to enable verification of Reader firmware prior to A0 tape‑out
Work with RAIN RFID End‑Point IC verification team to enable system verification and emulation
Collaborate across logic, analog, test, and systems engineering teams to deliver new features and products to market
Provide project planning and budgetary input on verification tooling requirements
Support continuous improvement of existing RAIN RFID products through feature and performance enhancements
What You’ll Bring:
Bachelor’s degree in electrical or computer engineering, or equivalent practical experience
15+ years of relevant industry experience; coursework in computer architecture preferred
Extensive experience in mixed signal IP and SoC RTL verification for complex multi clock and multi power domain SoCs with complex reset and power bring‑up sequences using UVM and UPF methodologies
Expertise creating and implementing RTL functional and AMS verification test plans
Experience in the implementation and verification of microcontroller microarchitectures and complex finite‑state machines
Experience defining and developing bus functional models, subsystem behavioral models and architectural checkers
Experience verifying integration of external IP blocks
Demonstrated expertise in creating a unified testing approach and integration strategy to enable verification of IPs, SoC, and software Firmware inclusive of production DFT patterns
Hands‑on experience developing System Verilog based Digital Mixed‑Signal functional test benches using real numbered models, SV assertions, re‑usable sequences, and coverage monitors for Metric Driven verification
Proven experience bringing multiple complex Mixed‑Signal IP and SoC designs from concept through tape‑out
Familiarity with CI/CD systems and RTL coverage tools
Scripting proficiency in Perl, Python, Ruby, or UNIX shell
Excellent written and verbal communication skills
Excellent teamwork and mentoring skills
