Responsibilities

You will be responsible for verifying complex digital designs, including Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) with multiple CPUs, digital signal processors, security hardware, interconnects, and peripheral logic supporting IoT and edge-compute applications.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter who takes full ownership of verification efforts and consistently delivers high‑quality, production‑ready silicon.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Own and execute end-to-end digital verification at block, sub-system, and full-chip (SoC) levels
  • Develop detailed verification plans aligned with architecture and design specifications
  • Perform SoC-level verification using full-chip simulation and regression environments
  • Architect and implement scalable, reusable UVM-based testbenches using SystemVerilog
  • Develop comprehensive test scenarios, stimulus, monitors, and checkers to achieve robust functional coverage
  • Drive constrained-random and directed testing, including scoreboarding and self-checking mechanisms
  • Develop and maintain C/C++ based verification libraries and tests for SoC-level validation
  • Automate verification flows for regressions, coverage collection, and results reporting
  • Define, track, and close functional and code coverage goals
  • Utilize advanced debugging methodologies to isolate and resolve complex design and verification issues
  • Perform root-cause analysis and collaborate closely with design teams to drive fixes
  • Ensure verification quality meets or exceeds project, schedule, and industry standards

Experience with edge-based AI inference workloads is a plus.


Requirements

  • BSEE or MSEE with 8–12 years of hands-on digital design verification experience
  • Proven track record of multiple tape-outs with silicon functioning to specification
  • Strong experience in block-level, sub-system, and full-chip SoC verification
  • Ability to define and manage verification deliverables, milestones, and schedules
  • Proactively identify verification risks and implement mitigation strategies
  • Experience working with complex SoCs integrating multiple 3rd-party IPs and VIPs
  • Strong collaboration skills to work effectively with design, architecture, and software teams
  • Excellent communication skills for reporting status, issues, and progress to stakeholders

Technical Skills

  • Design Verification:
    • SystemVerilog, UVM, Verilog
    • Functional and code coverage methodologies
    • Constrained-random verification and scoreboarding
  • SoC & Software-Based Verification:
    • C/C++ based verification in SoC environments (required)
    • Experience with processor-based systems (ARM and/or RISC‑V preferred)
  • Architectures & Protocols:
    • ARM or RISC‑V processor-based SoCs
    • AMBA protocols (AXI, AHB, APB)
    • DMA, flow control, and standard serial interfaces
  • Scripting & Automation:
    • Python, Perl, Makefile
  • Low Power (Digital):
    • Experience verifying low-power digital architectures and features is highly desirable

Preferred Experience

  • Security IPs (Crypto, OTP)
  • DSP and compute-heavy digital subsystems
  • High-performance or low-power SoC architectures
  • Edge AI / ML workload enablement
