Design Verification Engineer

Job Summary:

We are looking for a skilled and motivated Design Verification (DV)/SoC Verification Engineer with over 3 years of hands-on experience in SoC-level verification, Low Power Verification, Gate-Level Simulation (GLS), and PCIe/Peripheral Interface Verification. The ideal candidate will play a key role in verifying complex SoCs, ensuring functional correctness, power intent, and interface compliance across design levels.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop and execute verification plans for SoC and subsystem-level environments.

Drive testbench development using System Verilog/UVM methodologies.

Perform Low Power (UPF-based) verification including power-aware simulations and assertions.

Execute and debug Gate-Level Simulations (GLS) for timing-aware verification.

Verify PCIe and other high-speed peripheral interfaces for protocol compliance.

Analyze code coverage and functional coverage to ensure comprehensive validation.

Collaborate with RTL, DFT, and backend teams to ensure timely tape-outs.

Debug complex SoC issues using simulation tools and waveform analysis.

Support regressions, debug failures, and perform root-cause analysis.

Required Skills & Experience:

Trained Freshers to 5+ years of industry experience in SoC/Subsystem DV.

Strong hands-on experience with System Verilog, UVM methodology.

Proven experience in Low Power Verification using UPF (Unified Power Format).

Solid understanding and practical experience with GLS (Gate-Level Simulation).

Experience verifying PCIe or similar high-speed protocols (USB, AXI, etc.).

Good debugging skills using simulation tools (VCS, Questa, etc.).

Familiarity with coverage-driven verification and functional coverage closure.

Experience with scripting (Python, Perl, Shell) is a plus.

Exposure to formal verification tools and techniques is a bonus.

Preferred Qualifications:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering or related field.

Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in a fast-paced environment.

Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Passion for learning and working on complex SoC designs.
