Senior Digital Verification Manager (Semiconductor)

Location: Shanghai (Pudong), China; other location: Tianjin (Teda), China

Company

Global semiconductor technology organization developing advanced MPU and MCU products for complex product development environments.

What you will do

• Lead, coach, hire, onboard, mentor, and develop SoC verification engineers and technical leads.
• Own verification strategy and planning from product definition through tape-out, including scope, environments, methodology, milestones, metrics, risk management, and sign-off criteria.
• Deploy scalable and reusable verification methods using SystemVerilog, UVM, C/C++, assertions, formal verification, emulation, and hardware-software co-verification.
• Review verification plans, environments, coverage models, regressions, defects, waivers, and sign-off evidence; provide status updates and escalation.
• Improve reuse, automation, regression efficiency, debug productivity, and AI-assisted verification where measurable value can be demonstrated.
• Collaborate with architecture, IP and SoC design, DFT, firmware, software, validation, quality, functional safety, security, and program management teams.

Requirements

• 15+ years of semiconductor verification experience and a strong record of delivering complex SoC products from architecture definition through tape-out.
• 5+ years of engineering management experience leading verification teams and technical leaders in a fast-paced product development environment.
• Experience building, leading, and scaling high-performing SoC verification teams, including hiring, coaching, performance management, succession planning, and organizational capability development.
• Deep expertise in SystemVerilog, UVM, coverage-driven verification, assertions, debug, regression management, and verification sign-off methodologies.
• Strong understanding of SoC architectures, including processors, interconnects, memory subsystems, peripherals, power management, safety, and security features.
• Ability to define technical strategy, drive execution, manage risks, and make data-driven decisions across multiple concurrent projects.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including the ability to influence and align cross-functional and geographically distributed teams.
• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Semiconductor, or a related technical field.

Nice to have
