Sr Principal Design Engineer

As a Sr Principal Design Engineer at Cadence, you will lead the Design Verification (DV) execution of UCIe PHY IP. This includes driving internal DV team meetings, collaborating with RTL, AMS system modeling, and PD teams. You will be responsible for defining and architecting verification environments and methodologies, and improving existing verification methodologies such as Co-Simulation (Co-SIM), UPF Power Aware Simulations (UPF PA Sim), VIP/DIP integration and Verification, and Formal Verification, with a focus on continuous improvement. You will analyze execution and quality issues and develop new functional verification methodologies.

Must Have

• Solid background in functional verification fundamentals.
• Experience in verification environment development.
• Experience in test plan creation.
• Experience in verification closure.
• RTL and GLS debug skills, formal verification, PA simulation.
• Strong SystemVerilog and UVM methodology expertise.
• Prior digital verification experience in serial bus multiprotocol PHY IPs (UCIE or SerDes IPs is preferred)
• B.E/B.Tech/M.E/M.Tech with 10+ years of experience

Good to Have

• Exposure to analog modeling and AMS (Analog/Mixed-Signal)-digital co-simulations.
• Experience with automotive IP verification (e.g., fault injection).
• Emulation exposure.
