Responsibilities

Responsibilities

1. Verification Planning and Execution

  • Develop and execute comprehensive SoC/IP‑level verification plans aligned with design specifications and project goals.
  • Drive verification closure through functional, code, and assertion coverage, ensuring high‑quality deliverables.
  • Apply industry‑standard ASIC/SoC verification techniques including test planning, testbench creation, constrained‑random and directed stimulus, assertions, and coverage‑driven verification.
  • Perform SoC integration verification, validating interactions across subsystems, interfaces, and power/performance domains.

2. Testbench & Environment Development

  • Architect, develop, and enhance SystemVerilog UVM/OVM‑based testbenches for IP and SoC‑level verification.
  • Build and integrate reusable Verification IP (VIP) and scalable verification components.
  • Collaborate with internal teams and third‑party VIP providers to ensure seamless integration and compliance.
  • Develop checkers, scoreboards, monitors, and coverage models to support robust verification.

3. Methodology, Flows & Best Practices

  • Demonstrate strong understanding of ASIC/SoC design and verification methodologies, including constraint‑random verification and object‑oriented programming principles.
  • Contribute to verification methodology improvements, automation, and flow optimization.
  • Ensure adherence to best practices in UVM architecture, reuse, and maintainability

4. Advanced Verification Skills

  • Perform Gate‑Level Simulation (GLS) including SDF annotation, timing verification, and debug of post‑synthesis/post‑layout issues.
  • Execute power‑aware verification using UPF/CPF, validating power modes, isolation, retention, and sequencing.
  • Debug complex SoC‑level issues involving multiple clock domains, resets, and power states.
  • Apply formal verification techniques where appropriate to complement simulation‑based verification.

5. Technical Skills

  • Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog (UVM/OVM) and scripting languages such as Python, Perl, Tcl, C/C++, and Verilog PLI.
  • Familiarity with standard protocols and interfaces (e.g., I2C, SPI, UART, AXI/AHB/APB).
  • Experience with simulation, debug, and coverage tools from major EDA vendors (Synopsys, Cadence, Siemens).
  • Knowledge of CI/regression automation, version control, and workflow tools is a plus

6. Collaboration & Communication

  • Work effectively with design, architecture, DV, validation, and firmware teams to drive verification to completion.
  • Communicate technical concepts clearly through documentation, reviews, and cross‑functional discussions.
  • Demonstrate initiative, strong analytical problem‑solving skills, and adaptability in a diverse team environment.
