Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Design Verification Engineer with strong expertise in ASIC/SoC verification to join our semiconductor team. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in SystemVerilog, UVM, and protocol verification, with a proven track record of developing robust verification environments and achieving coverage closure.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute comprehensive verification plans for ASIC/SoC designs.

• Build reusable UVM-based verification environments, testbenches, scoreboards, checkers, and assertions.

• Create and execute directed and constrained-random test cases.

• Perform functional, code, assertion, and toggle coverage analysis and drive coverage closure.

• Debug RTL and simulation issues in collaboration with design teams.

• Verify complex IPs and SoCs at block, subsystem, and chip level.

• Work closely with RTL designers, architects, and physical design teams throughout the development lifecycle.

• Participate in regression execution, bug tracking, and verification sign-off.

Required Skills

• 8 years of ASIC/SoC Design Verification experience.

• Strong expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM.

• Excellent knowledge of Verilog and digital design fundamentals.

• Experience with industry-standard simulators such as Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium, or Siemens QuestaSim.
