Introduction

GlobalFoundries is seeking a Senior Principal SoC Design Verification Engineer to serve as a senior technical authority for verification of custom System-on-Chip designs. The successful candidate will define strategy for the most complex verification initiatives, solve critical problems of exceptional complexity, drive innovation across programs, and influence cross-functional technical direction and execution.

This position is well suited to a highly accomplished verification leader with exceptional breadth and depth, a sustained record of leading high-impact initiatives, and the ability to convert ambiguous product, architecture, and organizational challenges into scalable verification strategies with measurable business impact.

Successful candidates are trusted senior technical authorities who combine hands-on technical depth, strategic judgment, innovation, influence across organizational boundaries, and sustained development of experienced technical leaders.

Essential Responsibilities

• Define verification strategy, architecture, and signoff criteria for the most complex SoC programs, multiple interdependent technical areas, or a portfolio of related designs.

• Lead high-impact technical initiatives that are critical to business and functional objectives, including strategy, planning, risk management, and execution alignment across organizations.

• Architect scalable verification platforms, methodologies, reference models, assertions, coverage solutions, and automation strategies for adoption across multiple programs.

• Establish verification readiness and quality frameworks, drive closure of critical risks, and provide evidence-based signoff recommendations to senior engineering and program leadership.

• Solve critical, novel, and nonrecurring problems of exceptional complexity and establish systematic approaches that prevent recurrence across products and teams.

• Lead cross-functional, cross-site, and multi-program resolution of critical issues with architecture, RTL design, firmware, DFT, emulation, physical design, and post-silicon teams.

• Initiate and drive transformative technical innovation and continuous-improvement initiatives with measurable quality, productivity, cost, schedule, or business impact.
