Sr Staff/Staff/Senior Engineer– IP Design Verification

We are seeking a highly experienced IP Design Verification Engineer to join the Verification R&D team at Renesas. In this role, you will be responsible for end‑to‑end verification of complex digital IPs and subsystems, ensuring first‑pass silicon success through building verification environment from scratch using best in class methodologies, metric‑driven verification, and intelligent coverage convergence using AI tools.

You will play a key technical role in defining verification strategies, architecting testbenches, defining Test Plans tracing Requirements, driving coverage closure using advanced automation and AI‑assisted techniques, and collaborating closely with Architecture, RTL, chip top, and Validation teams to deliver high‑quality, reusable IPs for next‑generation microcontrollers and microprocessors.

Responsibilities:

• Own end‑to‑end verification execution for complex digital IPs and subsystems from specification to sign‑off
• Define and drive IP‑level verification strategies, including test plans, coverage models, and closure criteria
• Develop scalable, reusable UVM‑based verification environments for IP and subsystem verification
• Lead functional, code, assertion, and cross‑coverage closure, ensuring high‑quality sign‑off with clear metrics
• Apply AI/ML‑assisted verification techniques to accelerate coverage convergence, identify stimulus gaps, and optimize regression efficiency
• Drive constraint random and directed test methodologies for thorough protocol, corner‑case, and stress verification
• Collaborate with RTL, Architecture, Emulation, and SoC Verification teams to ensure seamless IP integration
• Review IP specifications and work with architects to translate requirements into robust verification plans and checkers
• Develop and deploy advanced checkers, scoreboards, assertions (SVA), and protocol monitors
• Work with EDA vendors to evaluate and adopt next‑generation verification, coverage, and analytics tools
• Mentor junior engineers and promote best‑in‑class verification practices and continuous improvement
• Support Gate‑Level Simulation (GLS), low‑power verification, and post‑silicon debug when required

• Ensure IP deliverables meet quality, schedule, and reusability expectations for SoC integration
