- Develop and maintain SystemVerilog testbenches and UVM environments, integrating Synopsys VIPs and third-party verification IP.
- Write and analyze SystemVerilog assertions and track code, toggle, and functional coverage.
- Debug complex simulation failures across multi-clock-domain SOC designs.
- Mentor junior verification engineers through design bring-up, testbench architecture decisions, and debugging sessions.
- Collaborate with architects, RTL designers, and post-silicon teams.
- Script automation flows using shell, Makefile, and Perl to improve regression efficiency and testbench reusability.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's in Electronics Engineering or related field.
- 2 to 5 years of hands-on experience in IP or SOC verification.
- Strong working knowledge of SystemVerilog, UVM, and processor-based SOC verification environments.
- Experience with VCS, waveform debugging tools, and integrating third-party VIPs.
- Solid understanding of AXI and AMBA protocol variants.
- Proficiency in scripting with shell, Makefile, or Perl.
- Working knowledge of ASIC design flow, RTL design concepts.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with ARM core verification, USB, PCIe, or MIPI protocols is a strong plus.
- Ability to take a design spec, identify potential issues, and build a verification plan.
- Proactive in debugging and root-causing regression failures.
- Clear communication of technical tradeoffs.
- Ability to write readable, reusable, and extensible testbenches and assertions.
- Natural leadership in guiding debug sessions.
- Staying current on verification tools and methodologies.
Benefits
- Comprehensive medical and healthcare plans.
