Your Work Powers the World's 5G Networks

Not a simulation. Not a demo environment. Production silicon running inside live 5G infrastructure across the globe.

At Ericsson, the ASICs our IP teams build are the backbone of next-generation 5G networks — and the verification engineers who prove they work are the last line of defense before silicon hits the real world. If you're the kind of engineer who gets energized by hunting down the hardest bugs, building verification environments from the ground up, and knowing that your work ships — this is your role.

What You'll Be Doing

You’ll join Ericsson's ASIC IP organization — a growing, world-class semiconductor team — where you’ll take on real ownership across the full verification stack. Expect to dig deep into:

• TLM modeling — building transaction-level models that drive early architectural verification
• Block- and Top-Level ASIC/IP Verification — owning coverage closure from block to chip
• Testbench architecture — designing and building UVM environments from scratch, not inheriting someone else's shortcuts
• SW-driven verification — bridging the gap between hardware and embedded software to verify real-world behavior

This isn't a role where you maintain existing infrastructure. You’ll build things, break things, and find the bugs that matter — all in a fast-moving team where your contributions are visible and your growth is a priority.

What You Bring

• Several years of hands-on, in industry RTL verification experience in IP, ASIC, SoC.
• Deep, practical experience with SystemVerilog and UVM
• Proven ability to architect and build testbenches from the ground up
• Block- and/or top‑level RTL debug experience — you know how to find what's hiding in the waveform
• IP familiarity in one or more of: SerDes, PCIe, ARM Subsystems, DSPs/Accelerators, or Ethernet
• Scripting proficiency — TCL, Python, Perl, or equivalent
• Clear, confident communicator — you can explain what you found and why it matters

Highly Desired Experience

• Experience developing full test plans and directed/randomized test cases from scratch
• Object-oriented programming chops that show up in your verification code
• Embedded software design and test experience
• Fluency in the standard Linux/GIT/LSF development environment
• Hands‑on experience with AMBA APB, AXI, ACE-Lite, or CHI interfaces
• Familiarity with computer architecture — CPU pipelines, memory hierarchies, cache coherency protocols
• Early leadership instincts and the hunger to grow them
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or equivalent hands‑on experience.

Why Ericsson?

Ericsson has been making bold bets for over a century — and we're not slowing down. Here, you won't be building for the status quo. You’ll be building what replaces it.

What that looks like day to day:

• A speak‑up culture where your ideas get heard and your expertise gets respected
• Real career mobility — hundreds of opportunities across locations worldwide, in every technical direction you want to grow
• A team where co‑creation and collaboration aren't buzzwords — they're how the best work gets done
• Genuine commitment to work‑life balance and an inclusive environment where every background and perspective makes the work stronger
• Your opportunity to make an impact here isn't limited. It's unlimited.

Ericsson is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
