Design and Verification Engineer

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced Design Verification Engineer to join our semiconductor and VLSI team, focusing on verifying complex IPs and SoC designs with high-speed protocol expertise.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and implement detailed verification plans for sophisticated IP blocks and SoCs.
• Create and maintain UVM/SystemVerilog verification environments for high-speed interface protocols.
• Verify protocols and IPs including PCIe, USB, DDR, Ethernet, AXI, AHB, APB, MIPI, SATA, and SerDes.
• Build reusable testbenches, verification components, scoreboards, checkers, and assertions.
• Achieve coverage goals through functional, code, and assertion coverage closure.
• Troubleshoot issues in RTL and gate-level simulations.
• Collaborate effectively with design, architecture, and validation teams to ensure thorough feature verification.
• Manage regression testing, execute test plans, and facilitate verification signoff.
• Support verification methodology development at both IP and subsystem levels.

Skills and Qualifications

• Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog, UVM, and Verilog for verification purposes.
• Hands-on experience with verifying high-speed protocols.
• Good understanding and application of assertion-based verification (SVA).
• Familiarity with simulation and debugging tools like VCS, QuestaSim, and Xcelium.
• Knowledge of scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or Shell for automation tasks.
• Excellent debugging capabilities and problem-solving aptitude.
• Experience with coverage-driven verification methodologies.

Preferred Additional Qualifications

• Prior experience in System-on-Chip (SoC) or IP block verification.
• Exposure to formal verification methodologies is advantageous.
• Understanding of emulation or FPGA-based validation techniques is beneficial.
• Strong communication skills with an ability to work collaboratively in team environments.

Education Requirement

A bachelor's or master's degree in Electronics, Electronics and Communication Engineering, VLSI, or Computer Engineering is required.
