Location: Hyderabad, Telangana, India

JobType: full-time

We are seeking an experienced Manager – ASIC Design Verification with 9–12 years of experience to lead verification activities for complex ASIC and SoC designs. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in design verification, PCIe, and verification methodologies, along with experience managing verification teams and driving projects from planning through sign-off. You will work closely with design, architecture, firmware, validation, and other cross-functional teams to ensure high-quality, robust, and production-ready silicon.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage the ASIC Design Verification team, providing technical direction, mentoring, and project guidance.
• Own verification planning, execution, tracking, and sign-off for complex ASIC/SoC projects.
• Develop comprehensive verification strategies, test plans, coverage goals, and schedules aligned with project requirements.
• Drive functional, performance, and corner-case verification to identify design issues early in the development cycle.
• Lead verification of PCIe-based designs, including protocol functionality, configuration, link training, error handling, and compliance-related scenarios.
• Review verification environments, testbenches, test cases, coverage reports, and debug methodologies.
• Collaborate with RTL designers and architects to understand specifications and translate them into effective verification plans.
• Analyze simulation failures, identify root causes, and coordinate with design teams to resolve issues.
• Establish verification methodologies, coding standards, regression strategies, and quality processes.
• Track verification progress, risks, coverage closure, and bug status while ensuring project milestones are achieved.
• Participate in design and verification reviews and provide technical inputs on architecture, implementation, and verification challenges.
• Mentor engineers and build a strong technical verification team capable of handling complex IP and subsystem-level verification.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams across design, firmware, validation, and physical implementation to ensure smooth project execution.

Must-Have Skills

• 9–12 years of hands-on experience in ASIC/SoC Design Verification.
• Strong expertise in verification methodologies and verification planning.
• Proven experience with PCIe verification, including protocol-level functionality and complex verification scenarios.
• Strong understanding of digital design concepts, ASIC development flows, simulation, debugging, and coverage closure.
• Experience leading verification projects and managing or mentoring verification engineers.
• Ability to analyze complex specifications and develop comprehensive verification strategies.
• Strong problem-solving, debugging, communication, and stakeholder-management skills.

Good-to-Have Skills

• Experience in IP verification and reusable verification environments.
• Exposure to subsystem-level verification and integration verification.
• Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog.
• Experience with industry-standard verification methodologies such as UVM.
• Familiarity with simulation, regression, functional coverage, code coverage, assertions, and constrained-random verification.
• Exposure to other high-speed interfaces and SoC interconnect technologies is an advantage.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, with relevant experience in ASIC/SoC verification.
