Senior/Principal verification Engineer

Verification Planning & Execution

• Define comprehensive verification strategies and verification plans based on architecture and design specifications.
• Develop and execute block-level, subsystem-level, and SoC-level verification environments.
• Drive verification closure through functional, code, assertion, and toggle coverage metrics.
• Create test plans, verification testcases, and sign-off criteria.

Testbench Development

• Architect and develop scalable SystemVerilog/UVM-based verification environments.
• Design reusable Verification Components (UVCs), scoreboards, checkers, monitors, and reference models.
• Develop constrained-random, directed, and scenario-based tests.
• Integrate third-party VIPs and custom verification IPs.

Assertion & Formal Verification

• Develop SystemVerilog Assertions (SVA) for protocol and functional checking.
• Utilize assertion-based verification techniques to improve bug detection efficiency.
• Collaborate with formal verification teams for property development and closure.

Debug & Root Cause Analysis

• Analyze simulation failures and identify RTL, testbench, or architectural issues.
• Work closely with design and architecture teams to resolve functional and performance-related bugs.
• Lead complex debug activities across multiple IPs and subsystems.

Coverage & Sign-Off

• Define and track functional coverage models.
• Drive functional, code, assertion, and cross-coverage closure.
• Review verification metrics and provide sign-off recommendations.
• Ensure compliance with overall project verification and quality goals.

SoC Verification

• Lead end-to-end verification of large SoCs including:
  • Interconnect and fabric verification
  • Cache coherency verification
  • Memory subsystem verification
  • Boot and reset validation
  • Low-power verification
  • Performance and stress testing

Leadership & Mentoring

• Provide technical leadership to verification teams.
• Mentor junior and senior engineers on UVM, verification methodologies, and debug techniques.
• Participate in hiring, technical interviews, and project planning.
• Drive best practices and verification process improvements.
