SV functional coverage and Assertions coding
Writing, executing, and debugging constrained-random and directed test cases
Developing TB components for SOC with C and SV
Test case development, coding, execution, and bug analysis
Setting up functional coverage, writing system assertions (SVA), and analyzing code coverage metrics
Debugging complex simulation failures using waveform viewer tools
SOC C based tests coding & debugging
Gate level simulation & netlist debugging
Regression failure analysis
Functional and Code Coverage closure
Participating in verification closure
ATE test

Requirements

5 to 7 years of experience is mandatory
Good understanding of ASIC/SoC life cycle
Participated in multiple ASIC/SoC verification till tapeout stage
Expertise & hands-on experience in OVM/UVM methodologies using SV
Experience in developing TB components, including functional coverage implementation and assertion coding
Experience Set up functional coverage, write system assertions (SVA), and analyze code coverage metrics to identify untested gaps in the design logic.
Debug complex simulation failures using waveform viewer tools to isolate design bugs from testbench issues.
Experience in SOC C based tests coding & debugging
Experience in Gate level simulation & netlist debugging
Experience in regression failure analysis
Experience in Perl/Shell scripting
Proficiency in Verilog, SystemVerilog, and core concepts of UVM.
