We are looking for a highly motivated Design Verification Engineer – Power Management Unit (PMU) with 4–8 years of experience in semiconductor design verification. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in verifying complex Power Management Unit (PMU) blocks within modem or SoC subsystems, ensuring functional correctness, reliability, and compliance with design specifications. You will work closely with design, architecture, and validation teams to develop robust verification environments and deliver high-quality silicon for next-generation products.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute comprehensive verification plans for Power Management Unit (PMU) blocks within modem subsystems.
• Design, build, and maintain reusable verification environments using SystemVerilog (SV) and Universal Verification Methodology (UVM).
• Create constrained-random and directed test cases to verify complex power management features, state transitions, and functional scenarios.
• Perform block-level and subsystem-level verification while ensuring complete functional coverage.
• Execute Gate-Level Simulations (GLS) to validate timing-aware functionality and identify post-synthesis issues.
• Analyze simulation results, debug functional failures, and collaborate with RTL designers to resolve design defects efficiently.
• Review architecture and design specifications to identify verification requirements and potential corner cases.
• Verify low-power functionality and ensure compliance with power management requirements across multiple operating modes.
• Participate in verification reviews, test plan discussions, and regression analysis to improve verification quality and productivity.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams including RTL Design, Physical Design, DFT, Validation, and Software teams throughout the development lifecycle.
• Contribute to the continuous enhancement of verification methodologies, automation, and reusable verification IP.

Required Skills

• Strong experience as a Design Verification Engineer in semiconductor or SoC development.
• Hands-on expertise in SystemVerilog (SV) and UVM for building scalable verification environments.
• Solid understanding of Power Management Unit (PMU) architecture and verification methodologies.
• Good knowledge of basic digital design concepts including sequential and combinational logic, FSMs, clocks, resets, and synchronization.
• Practical experience in Gate-Level Simulation (GLS) and debugging timing-related issues.
• Understanding of IESNLP concepts and their application within verification workflows.
• Experience in writing verification components such as drivers, monitors, scoreboards, sequences, assertions, and checkers.
• Strong debugging skills using waveform analysis and simulation tools.
• Familiarity with regression execution, bug tracking, and verification closure.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Good-to-Have Skills

• Scripting knowledge using Python, Perl, Shell, or Tcl to automate verification tasks and regression flows.
• Good understanding of functional and code coverage analysis for achieving verification closure.
• Exposure to assertion-based verification and low-power verification methodologies.
• Familiarity with modem subsystems or complex SoC architectures.
• Experience working in Agile or collaborative semiconductor development environments.

Qualifications

• B.Tech/B.E./M.Tech/M.E. in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 4–8 years of relevant experience in semiconductor design verification with strong exposure to PMU verification.
