We are seeking an experienced Senior Digital Verification Engineer to lead end‑to‑end verification of complex IC blocks and systems.
Key Responsibilities
- Define Strategy & Ownership: Architect and execute comprehensive verification strategies, test plans, and implement UVM-based environments from scratch.
- Verification Closure: Drive functional and code coverage to closure, utilizing constrained-random testing, assertion-based verification (SVA), and formal methods to prove design correctness.
- Specification Quality: Review design specifications early in the cycle to improve their quality, clarity, and "fitness for verification."
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with global architecture, design, and software teams to optimize hardware/software partitioning and system-level verification.
- Technical Leadership: Mentor and tutor junior engineers, champion design/verification reviews, and optimize automation flows for reusability and performance.
- Make/Buy Decisions: Participate in evaluating third-party VIP and tools, steering make/buy choices to ensure maximum engineering efficiency.
- Experience: Extensive proven experience in ASIC/IC digital verification with strong mastery of SystemVerilog and UVM.
- Strong Technical capabilities : Demonstrated ability to independently set up a UVM testbench from scratch, translating a specification into a final full verification Environment.
- Tools & Languages: Proficiency with industry-standard simulators and management tools (e.g., Cadence Xcelium, eManager/vManager) along with Verilog, VHDL, and SystemVerilog.
- Methodologies: Solid grounding in Functional Verification, ABV, Formal Verification, and regression frameworks.
- Design Skills: Intermediate to advanced digital design skills, allowing for deep technical alignment with design and architecture teams.
- Communication: Excellent interpersonal skills and strong proficiency in English (written and verbal), with the assertiveness to effectively guide technical decisions.
