Lead SoC Verification engineer

Eteros Technolgies is Seeking a Senior / Lead Verification Engineer with strong expertise in simulation environment migration, debugging, and coverage analysis . The role involves migrating IP and SoC-level verification environments between Cadence Xcelium and Synopsys VCS , ensuring simulation stability, functional correctness, and coverage closure for complex designs involving ARM Cortex, PCIe , and other high-speed protocols.

Key Responsibilities

Environment Migration :

Migrate SystemVerilog / UVM testbenches between Xcelium and VCS.

Resolve simulator-specific issues (macros, DPI, coverage differences) .

PCIe & High-Speed Protocol Verification :

Verify PCIe at IP / SoC levels – LTSSM bring-up, PIPE / PHY interface, protocol compliance.

Debug link training, power management, and reset issues. Integrate and analyze VIPs (Synopsys / Cadence).

Gate-Level Simulation (GLS) :

Set up and run GLS with / without timing.

Debug timing violations, X-propagation, and reset mismatches. Correlate RTL vs GLS for sign-off.

Automation & Integration :

Automate regressions using Makefiles, Python, Perl on LSF / Jenkins.

Integrate IPs into ARM Cortex-based SoC environments.

Debug & Coverage :

Debug UVM / DUT interface failures and analyze assertion, protocol, and timing issues.

Track and close functional / code coverage using IMC, Verdi, or Verisium tools.

Required Skills

Languages : SystemVerilog, UVM, C / C++ (DPI), Python, Shell, Perl

Tools : Xcelium, VCS, SimVision, Verdi, Verisium, IMC

Protocols : PCIe, AMBA, I3C / I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO

Expertise : Debugging, signal tracing, coverage analysis, GLS sign-off

Qualifications

B.E. / B.Tech or M.E. / M.Tech in ECE / EE

8–12 years of experience in functional verification

Strong PCIe and ARM-based SoC background

Experience with coverage closure and debug automation
