Job Description

Meta Reality Labs is building custom silicon to power the next generation of augmented and virtual reality devices, including headsets and wearables. As a Design Verification Engineer on the silicon team, you will be responsible for ensuring the functional correctness and quality of complex custom chips that enable immersive AR/VR experiences. In this role, you will develop and execute comprehensive verification strategies for digital logic blocks and subsystems, working closely with design, architecture, and software teams to bring high-performance, low-power silicon from specification to tape-out.

Responsibilities

Develop and own verification plans for digital logic blocks and subsystems within custom AR/VR silicon, covering functional coverage, corner cases, and compliance requirements

• Design and implement constrained-random UVM testbenches to verify complex RTL designs including processors, interconnects, memory controllers, and multimedia accelerators
• Define and close functional coverage models and code coverage metrics to ensure thorough verification of design intent
• Collaborate with RTL design engineers to review microarchitecture specifications and identify verification risks early in the design cycle
• Develop and maintain simulation infrastructure, regression frameworks, and automated test suites to support continuous integration of design changes
• Perform formal verification and property checking on critical design blocks to complement simulation-based verification
• Debug failing simulations and regressions by analyzing waveforms, log files, and RTL code to root-cause design or testbench issues
• Partner with post-silicon validation and firmware teams to develop pre-silicon test content that transitions to hardware bring-up
• Contribute to verification methodology improvements, including reusable verification IP and shared infrastructure across the silicon team
• Track and report verification progress, coverage closure status, and risk areas to design and program management stakeholders

Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, relevant technical field, or equivalent practical experience

• 6+ years of experience in digital design verification, including development of UVM-based constrained-random testbenches for complex RTL blocks or subsystems
• 6+ years of experience with hardware description and verification languages including SystemVerilog and/or VHDL
• Experience defining and closing functional coverage models and code coverage metrics for complex digital designs
• Experience debugging RTL simulations using waveform analysis tools and log-based root-cause analysis
• Experience with scripting languages such as Python or Perl for test automation, regression management, or coverage analysis Experience with post-silicon validation, hardware bring-up, or transitioning pre-silicon test content to physical hardware
• Experience verifying silicon for mobile, wearable, or consumer electronics SoCs, including low-power design verification techniques
• Knowledge of AR/VR-relevant subsystems such as Computer Vision , image signal processors, or neural network accelerators
• Familiarity with formal verification tools and methodologies such as property checking or equivalence checking
