Within the Crypto & Security Competence Center, you will be part of a dedicated team focusing on research and development for future security applications, ranging from hardware IP design to strong end‑to‑end security solutions.

For our Security Design team in Glasgow, UK, we are looking for a highly motivated Verification Engineer to join our team.

At this site, our engineers are actively involved in all aspects of security hardware design, delivering high‑end security IP into multiple NXP business lines and a variety of market segments, including Automotive, Microcontrollers, Banking / Mobile and Connectivity. Engineers contribute throughout the full product lifecycle, from requirements capture and architectural definition through development and verification, to test‑chip and silicon validation.

Your Responsibilities

As a Verification Engineer, your responsibilities will include:

• Verification of digital hardware architectures (cryptographic and/or security aspects are beneficial but not essential)

• Creating, reviewing, and maintaining verification plans, and tracking verification progress

• Specifying and developing verification strategies, tests, and environments for security features and hardware co‑processors

• Working with emerging verification methodologies and introducing them into existing verification flows

Your Profile

To ensure success in this role, the following skills and experience are desired:

• Experience developing System Verilog testbenches, including constrained‑random verification and UVM‑based environments

• Knowledge or understanding of verification for cryptographic algorithms and secure hardware architectures is an advantage

• Experience with design flows, version control systems, Verilog, and microcontroller‑based designs is beneficial

Personal Attributes

Furthermore, you should demonstrate:

• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills

• Good communication skills and a proactive, self‑driven attitude
