Lead Verification Engineer
Lead hands-on verification of complex SoC or large subsystems using UVM / SystemVerilog, owning plan-to-close execution through tapeout and silicon :
- Author verification plans from specs and micro-architecture; build reusable UVM environments from scratch at subsystem or SoC level.
- Develop constrained-random and directed tests, scoreboards, checkers, coverage models, and assertions (SVA).
- Drive coverage closure (functional, code, assertion), root-cause complex bugs, and work closely with RTL, architecture, and DFT.
- Enable SoC-level verification including interface / IP integration, coherency, low-power modes, resets / boot, and performance validation.
- Support silicon bring-up and correlation of failures to pre-silicon environments.
Must-have qualifications :
8+ years of hands-on ASIC verification experience (FPGA or emulation-only work does not count toward the 8 years).Multiple production ASIC tapeouts with ownership of SoC or subsystem-level UVM environments and coverage closure.Expert in SystemVerilog, UVM, SVA, and constrained-random methodologies; strong debug skills with waveforms and logs.Experience verifying standard interfaces and complex subsystems (AXI / ACE, DDR / PCIe, coherency, memory / interrupt fabric, power states).Strong testplanning, stimulus strategy, checkers / scoreboards, and closure discipline.Nice to have :
Low-power verification (UPF-aware), performance / latency verification, firmware-aware verification, emulation acceleration as a complement to UVM.Scripting (Python / Tcl) used to enhance hands-on verification, not in lieu of it.Discounted / not counted experience :
Regression running / triage-only roles or lint / CDC-only roles are discounted.IP-level-only verification without subsystem / SoC integration responsibility is insufficient.Primarily management, methodology-only, or tool-maintenance roles without recent hands-on testbench development will be discounted.FPGA-based validation experience does not count toward the minimum.(ref : hirist.tech)
