Principal ASIC Verification Engineer

Principal Asic Verification Engineer

Juniper Networks, part of Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Principal Asic Verification Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will play a key part in verifying cutting-edge Asic/Soc designs for networking solutions. You will collaborate with a world-class engineering team and contribute to the development of industry-leading products.

This role is based full time in Sunnyvale, CA with the expectation that you'll be in the office 2 days per week.

Primary Responsibilities

• Own and drive block-level/subsystem/fullchip verification efforts, from creating test plans to achieving comprehensive coverage closure.
• Develop, enhance, and maintain advanced UVM verification environments, including agents, sequences, scoreboards, virtual sequences, and register models.
• Perform constraint-driven random testing, debug complex SoC designs, and ensure functional coverage and assertion goals are met.
• Analyze simulation results using industry-leading simulation tools (e.g., Cadence Xcelium, Synopsys VCS, Mentor Questa) and debug waveforms to validate design functionality.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to identify and resolve issues, ensuring high-quality Asic/Soc deliverables.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• 12+ years of experience in Asic/Soc verification with a proven track record of owning verification from test plan to coverage closure.
• Strong expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM methodology, including developing environments from scratch.
• Deep understanding of randomization, constraints, functional coverage, and assertions (SVA).
• Hands-on experience in test planning, coverage analysis, and debugging of complex SoC designs.
• Proficiency with industry-standard simulation tools (e.g., Cadence Xcelium, Synopsys VCS, Mentor Questa) and waveform debugging.

Any combination of the following is a plus

• Experience verifying networking Asics or router datapath/control blocks, such as packet processing, forwarding engines, or fabric interfaces.
• Familiarity with high-speed interconnects, buffers, or scheduling pipelines in large networking SoCs.
• Exposure to emulation environments, hardware acceleration, or traffic-model integration.
• Knowledge of coverage analytics, regression dashboards, and continuous-integration flows (e.g., Jenkins).
• Understanding of low-power (UPF) or formal verification methodologies.
• Experience with post-silicon bring-up and debug.
• Familiarity with emulation environments and debug flows.

Additional Skills

Cloud Architectures, Cross Domain Knowledge, Design Thinking, Development Fundamentals, DevOps, Distributed Computing, Microservices Fluency, Full Stack Development, Security-First Mindset, Solutions Design, Testing & Automation, User Experience (UX)
