Senior/Staff/Sr Staff Engineer, IP/SoC Design Verification

Responsibilities

• Execute end-to-end verification for SoC, owning complex digital IPs and subsystems from specification to sign-off
• Define and drive IP-level verification strategies, including test plans, coverage models, and closure criteria
• Develop scalable, reusable UVM-based verification environments for IP and subsystem verification
• Lead functional, code, assertion, and cross-coverage closure using metric-driven methodologies
• Apply AI/ML-assisted verification techniques to accelerate coverage convergence and optimize regression efficiency
• Collaborate with RTL, Architecture, Emulation, and SoC Verification teams to ensure seamless IP integration
• Develop and deploy advanced checkers, scoreboards, assertions (SVA), and protocol monitors
• Mentor junior engineers and promote best-in-class verification practices

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics Engineering
• 5-12 years of experience in SoC Verification domains with knowledge of industry standard EDA toolkits
• Strong expertise in UVM-based testbench architecture and development
• Deep understanding of SystemVerilog, UVM, and assertions (SVA)
• Proven experience with directed and constrained-random verification methodologies
• Proficiency in Verilog/SystemVerilog, with working knowledge of C/C++ and Shell scripting
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands-on experience using AI/ML-based verification tools for coverage gap analysis and stimulus optimization
• Scripting expertise in Python, Perl, or TCL for automation and analytics
• Exposure to formal verification and hybrid formal-simulation flows
• Familiarity with high-speed or complex IPs such as H.264, Security, or safety-critical modules
