ASIC Verification Engineer

Senior SoC/NoC Verification Engineer

We are seeking a highly experienced SoC/NoC Functional Verification Engineer with a strong background in verifying complex System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures. The ideal candidate will have successfully verified 7-10 SoCs throughout their career and demonstrated deep expertise in UVM SystemVerilog-based environments, SVA, and testbench development.

You will play a key technical role in defining verification strategies, building scalable testbenches, driving verification closure, and mentoring junior engineers.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and execute functional verification of complex SoC/NoC designs from specification through tape out.
• Develop, enhance, and maintain UVM-based verification environments in SystemVerilog.
• Create comprehensive test plans, testbenches, assertions (SVA), coverage models, and checkers.
• Verify and validate AMBA (AXI, AHB, APB), DDR, MIPI, and various peripheral interfaces (JTAG, I C, SPI, etc.).
• Perform debug and root cause analysis on design and testbench issues, collaborating closely with RTL designers and architects.
• Define and drive coverage closure strategies to meet verification quality goals.
• Contribute to verification methodology improvements and automation frameworks.
• Mentor junior verification engineers and contribute to technical reviews.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 10+ years of hands on experience in SoC/NoC functional verification.
• Proven track record of verifying 7-10 SoCs across multiple technology nodes or product lines.
• Deep expertise in UVM (Universal Verification Methodology), SystemVerilog, and SVA (SystemVerilog Assertions).
• Constrained random and coverage driven verification experience.
• Strong understanding of industry standard protocols including AMBA (AXI, AHB, APB), DDR memory interfaces, high speed interfaces (MIPI, PCIe, etc.), and peripheral interfaces (JTAG, I C, SPI, UART, etc.).
• Experience with simulation tools (e.g., Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium, Mentor Questa) and debug tools.
