Principal DV

About the Company

Define and own verification strategy and methodology (UVM/SystemVerilog) at IP, subsystem, and SoC levels.

About the Role

Thoroughly understand and interpret Ethernet and related protocol specifications (IEEE standards, architecture specs, and micro-architecture documents) and translate them into comprehensive verification plans, assertions, and test scenarios.

Responsibilities

• Architect scalable verification environments, reusable VIPs, and checkers.
• Drive coverage-driven verification, including functional, code, and assertion coverage.
• Lead verification planning, testbench architecture, and test plan sign-off.
• Identify, Review and guide complex test scenarios and corner cases.

Execution & Quality

• Ensure first-pass silicon success through rigorous functional and protocol compliance verification.
• Drive bug triage, root-cause analysis, and closure across IP, Subsystem and SoC levels.
• Define and track verification metrics, quality KPIs, and sign-off criteria.
• Validate performance, stress, and corner scenarios such as congestion, backpressure, and error injection.
• Support emulation, FPGA prototyping, and post-silicon validation for Ethernet bring-up and debug.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with architecture, RTL, DFT, physical design, firmware, and software teams.
• Provide early verification input during architecture and micro-architecture definition, especially around standards compliance and performance assumptions.
• Collaborate with software teams on driver, firmware, and traffic validation.

Mentorship & Process

• Mentor and technically guide verification engineers across experience levels.
• Establish and enforce verification best practices and coding standards.
• Drive continuous improvements in verification flows, reuse, and productivity.

Qualifications

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering or related field from reputed college.
• 10+ years of experience in ASIC/SoC design verification.

Required Skills

• Strong hands-on expertise in SystemVerilog, UVM, and SVAStrong understanding of Ethernet architecture and protocols (MAC, PCS, PHY interfaces).

Preferred Skills

• None specified.
