Job Summary:

Lead Design Verification Engineer

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and drive the verification strategy, planning, and execution for IP, subsystem, or full-chip level.
  
• Define and implement constrained-random, directed, and coverage-driven verification methodologies (UVM/SystemVerilog preferred).
  
• Develop and maintain scalable and reusable testbench components.
  
• Mentor and guide junior verification engineers in testbench architecture, debugging, and coverage closure.
  
• Collaborate with RTL designers, architects, and firmware/software teams to understand design intent and develop test plans.
  
• Own and track functional coverage metrics and ensure 100% coverage goals are met.
  
• Drive regular reviews of verification status, risks, and issues with stakeholders.
  
• Support post-silicon validation teams with test vectors, debugging, and failure analysis.
  

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelors or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
  
• 7+ years of industry experience in digital design verification.
  
• Strong expertise in SystemVerilog, UVM, and advanced verification methodologies.
  
• Experience in testbench architecture, test planning, and constrained-random stimulus generation.
  
• Solid understanding of digital design concepts, SoC/ASIC design flows, and bus protocols (e.g., AXI, AHB, PCIe, etc.).
  
• Hands-on experience with simulation tools (VCS, Questa, etc.) and coverage analysis tools.
  
• Excellent debugging and problem-solving skills using waveform viewers and assertion-based techniques.
  
• Familiarity with scripting languages such as Python, Perl, or TCL for automation.
  
• Strong communication and leadership skills with experience leading small to mid-sized teams.
  

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in formal verification techniques.
  
• Experience with emulation, FPGA prototyping, or post-silicon bring-up.
  
• Exposure to power-aware or low-power verification (UPF/CPF).
  
• Knowledge of hardware security, safety, or compliance standards (ISO 26262, DO-254, etc.) is a plus.
  
• Familiarity with CI/CD flows and version control (Git, Jenkins, etc.).
  

Why Join Us:

• Work on cutting-edge technologies and next-generation chip designs.
  
• Opportunity to lead high-impact projects and influence verification strategy.
  
• Collaborative and innovative work environment.
  
• Competitive salary, benefits, and career growth opportunities.
