Job Type: Full-time

We are looking for an experienced Senior Design Verification Engineer with strong expertise in SystemVerilog (SV) and UVM-based verification to drive verification activities for complex IP and SoC designs.

The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience executing multiple IP and SoC verification projects, developing robust verification environments, creating verification plans, debugging functional and gate-level simulations, and driving coverage closure. Experience with at least one industry-standard protocol such as Ethernet, PCIe, MIPI, USB, AXI, RISC-V, AMBA, or DDR is required.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute comprehensive design verification strategies and plans for IP and SoC projects.
  • Translate functional and technical requirements into detailed verification plans, test scenarios, and coverage objectives.
  • Develop scalable and reusable SystemVerilog/UVM verification environments.
  • Build UVM components including testbenches, agents, drivers, monitors, sequencers, scoreboards, and coverage models.
  • Set up, configure, execute, and debug functional and gate-level simulations.
  • Develop and maintain automated regression environments for large verification programs.
  • Analyze simulation failures, identify root causes, and collaborate with RTL and design teams to resolve issues.
  • Verify designs using industry-standard protocols such as Ethernet, PCIe, MIPI, USB, AXI, RISC-V, AMBA, DDR, or equivalent protocols.
  • Evaluate, integrate, configure, and validate third-party Verification IP (VIP).
  • Develop effective test strategies for functional, corner-case, error, and protocol-specific scenarios.
  • Perform functional and code coverage analysis and drive coverage closure.
  • Identify verification gaps and develop additional tests, assertions, or coverage models where required.
  • Review simulation results, regression trends, coverage reports, and verification metrics.
  • Improve verification infrastructure, methodologies, automation, and regression efficiency.
  • Collaborate with RTL, architecture, firmware, emulation, and other engineering teams throughout the verification lifecycle.
  • Participate in design and verification reviews and contribute technical recommendations.
  • Maintain verification documentation, test plans, environments, results, and closure reports.
  • Mentor junior verification engineers and contribute to verification best practices and methodology improvements.

What Makes You a Great Fit

  • 7+ years of professional experience in ASIC, SoC, IP, or semiconductor design verification.
  • Proven experience executing at least 3 IP or SoC verification projects from planning through verification closure.
  • Strong hands-on expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM methodology.
  • Experience developing and maintaining reusable UVM-based verification environments.
  • Strong experience translating functional requirements into verification plans and test strategies.
  • Hands-on experience setting up and debugging functional and/or gate-level simulations.
  • Strong experience developing verification environments and automated regression setups.
  • Practical experience with functional coverage, code coverage, coverage analysis, and coverage closure.
  • Experience evaluating and integrating third-party VIPs into verification environments.
  • Strong understanding of digital design, RTL concepts, simulation, debugging, and verification methodologies.
  • Hands-on experience with at least one industry-standard protocol such as Ethernet, PCIe, MIPI, USB, AXI, RISC-V, AMBA, or DDR.
  • Strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving capabilities.
  • Ability to investigate complex simulation failures and identify root causes across RTL, testbench, and verification environments.
  • Experience with industry-standard simulators and verification tools is desirable.
  • Strong scripting or automation skills using languages such as Python, Perl, or Tcl are an advantage.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills with the ability to work effectively across design and verification teams.
  • Strong ownership mindset with the ability to independently drive verification activities from planning through coverage closure.
