Grow with us Silicon Front End CAD - DV Engineer (ASIC/FPGA) Ericsson Inc. does not sponsor US work authorizations for this job position including H-1B, O-1, and TN. Ericsson also does not hire F-1's working on EAD for this position. This is not a remote 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 Austin, Stockholm, and Lund. About Us 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. About this position: 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. 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. What you will do: * Lead the development, deployment, and support of complex front-end DV tool 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. What you will bring: * Deep expertise in Testbench Architecture using SystemVerilog and UVM at IP, ASIC, and/or SoC level. * 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. * Familiarity with synthesis, STA, and DFT concepts. * Experience with CI methodologies and tools (e.g., Jenkins). * Proficiency in scripting (Python, Perl, bash, csh, etc.). * 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. * Bonus: Exposure to AI/ML applications in design and verification flows (e.g., testbench optimization, anomaly detection, coverage prediction) is a significant advantage. Education & Experience * BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field. * Several years of relevant experience in ASIC/FPGA design verification What happens once you apply?
