Senior Design Verification Engineer in Oxford

An excellent opportunity has arisen to join a global leader in advanced semiconductor technologies. This role offers the chance to work on cutting-edge 5nm designs, supporting the latest PCIe interfaces, protocols, and NAND flash solutions.

While part of a large international organisation, the UK site operates with the feel of a fast-moving startup but with the stability and backing of a major company. The team builds on over a decade of SSD design expertise, applying a proven methodology that combines RTL design with high-speed microcode engines—delivering flexibility to meet new requirements while minimising the risk of re-spins.

The ASIC team is involved in every stage of the development flow—from requirements capture and architecture through to development, verification, tape-out, and post-silicon support. This provides excellent opportunities both for engineers looking to broaden their skills across the full lifecycle and for those who want to specialise in areas such as UVM-based verification.

As a Verification Engineer, you will join an industry-leading SoC development team tackling complex design challenges including high-speed interfaces, high-performance accelerators, and multi-CPU architectures. Team responsibilities span SoC architecture, RTL design, verification, synthesis, FPGA prototyping, and validation.
