SoC NoC Verification Lead with 10+ years of experience
Seeking someone who has experience in developing test plans, writing verification code, debugging issues, and collaborating with design teams to validate complex interconnect systems.
Key Responsibilities :
- Lead verification efforts for IP / sub-systems and full-chip SoC and NoC architectures.
- Define comprehensive verification plans : scope, test cases, coverage goals, assertions, corner-case scenarios.
- Architect and maintain robust, reusable, and scalable UVM / SystemVerilog environments with BFMs, monitors, scoreboards, and reference models-
- Develop assertion-based checks and functional coverage metrics using SVA.
- Implement performance, power-aware, and gated-level verification flows (including UPF-based flows)-
- Integrate, configure, and debug verification IPs for protocols like AXI, CHI, PCIe, Ethernet, CXL, UCIe, DDR-
- Debug RTL, gate-level, and emulation failures using tools like Verdi, SimVision, waveform analyzers-
- Collaborate with RTL designers, architects, DFT, firmware, emulation, and post-silicon teams to ensure clean design handoffs and first-time-right silicon-
- Mentor verification engineers and foster team best practices in testbench quality and automation-
- Track and report key verification metrics (functional / code coverage, power, performance) and drive toward verification closure.
- Enhance verification methodologies with tools for CI / CD, FPGA prototyping, portable stimulus, or formal techniques- .
Required Skills & Qualifications :
10+ years in pre-silicon verification for SoC / NoC or related subsystemsExpert-level proficiency in SystemVerilog, UVM, constrained-random testbenches, SVA, and functional coverage-Proven experience with tools : VCS, Questa, Xcelium, Verdi, SimVision, VIP integration, emulation platforms (Palladium, ZeBu, Veloce)-Expertise in gate-level, low-power (UPF), performance, and mixed-signal verification environments.Excellent leadership skills-able to mentor, manage tasks / risks, and deliver high-quality results to drive first-pass silicon success-ref : hirist.tech)
