About the Role
We are looking for a seasoned Verification Engineer to lead the design, development, and deployment of UVM/C-based testbenches for cutting-edge multi-core, multi-threaded processor subsystems. This role emphasizes performance, power, and functional verification of SoCs and chipsets built on ARM Cortex and proprietary processor technologies.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and implement chip-level testbenches for SoC verification.
• Lead pre-silicon verification efforts and manage a team of verification engineers.
• Develop and execute comprehensive test plans aligned with product requirements.
• Run and maintain regression suites; triage and debug test failures.
• Create directed (C), constrained-random (UVM), and formal verification tests.
• Perform gate-level simulations and provide activity files for power analysis.
• Collaborate with global teams and design leads; provide weekly status updates.

Required Skills & Experience

• Bachelor’s or master’s in electrical/computer engineering with 12–15 years of industry experience in SoC verification.
• Proficient in Verilog, SystemVerilog, UVM, and C/C++.
• Experience with assertions, constrained-random testing, and coverage analysis.
• Skilled in scripting (Perl, Python, Tcl, Shell) for automation.
• Deep understanding of SoC, memory, and cache architectures.
• Experience with low-power design, UPF, and gate-level simulations.
• Familiarity with RNM and mixed-signal modeling.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with high-speed interfaces (Quad/Octa-SPI).
• Familiarity with peripheral interfaces (SDIO, UART, I2S, I3C, PWM, CAN).
• Exposure to wireless technologies (WLAN, Bluetooth, ZigBee).
• Strong mentoring and leadership skills.
• Excellent analytical and communication abilities.
