ASIC Engineer, Design Verification

The Infra Silicon team at Meta is responsible for designing and building in-house hardware accelerator Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) to enhance Meta's computing with superior capacity and efficiency at lower power and cost. The team focuses on creating domain-specific System on Chips (SoCs) that enable Meta's data centers to execute computationally-intensive workloads, such as video transcoding and AI/ML, with higher performance and lower energy consumption. They are organized into several key areas, including architecture & algorithms, design & micro-architecture, design verification, implementation & backend design, emulation/prototyping, and system on chip (SoC), which collaborate extensively with other teams to deliver comprehensive solutions for various technical domains.

• Define and implement IP/SoC verification plans, build verification test benches to enable IP/sub-system/SoC level verification
• Develop functional tests based on verification test plan
• Drive Design Verification to closure based on defined verification metrics on test plan, functional and code coverage
• Debug, root-cause and resolve functional failures in the design, partnering with the Design team
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams like Design, Model, Emulation and Silicon validation teams towards ensuring the highest design quality
• Develop and drive continuous Design Verification improvements using the latest verification methodologies, tools and technologies from the industry
