Role Overview

We are looking for a Lead SoC Verification Engineer with 8+ years of experience to drive functional verification of complex SoC designs. The ideal candidate will lead the verification strategy, mentor junior engineers, and collaborate closely with design and architecture teams to ensure high-quality silicon delivery.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead SoC-level and IP-level verification for complex digital designs
• Define and own verification plans, methodologies, and coverage goals
• Develop and maintain SystemVerilog / UVM-based verification environments
• Drive testbench architecture , stimulus generation, and checkers
• Ensure functional, code, and assertion coverage closure
• Debug and analyze functional failures across RTL, testbench, and system level
• Collaborate with RTL design, architecture, DFT, and post-silicon teams
• Review verification deliverables and enforce best practices
• Mentor and technically guide junior verification engineers
• Support regression, gate-level simulations, and sign-off activities

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience in SoC / ASIC functional verification
• Strong expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM methodology
• Hands-on experience with SoC verification , including:
• Multiple IP integrations
• Interconnects (AXI/AHB/APB)
• Power-aware verification (UPF/CPF good to have)
• Strong knowledge of coverage-driven verification
• Experience with assertion-based verification (SVA)
• Proficiency in debugging using simulators (VCS, Xcelium, Questa)
• Solid understanding of RTL design concepts and SoC architecture
• Scripting experience in Python / Perl / Shell

Good to Have

• Experience with Formal Verification
• Exposure to Low-power verification
• Experience with Gate-Level Simulation (GLS)
• Knowledge of post-silicon validation/debug
• Prior experience in leading or mentoring teams

Education

• B.Tech / M.Tech in Electronics, Electrical, or related discipline
