Design Verification Lead

You will do:

 Construct SoC level test benches using verification components developed at the IP level. Test bench architecture for 
random/directed testing, stimulus generation, and checking to include custom and off the shelf VIP/UVCs.
• Develop and execute SoC verification plans focused on IP block interoperability and SOC/System level. Develop and 
execute verification plans based on design specifications and collaboration with architects and designers.
• Develop RAL test plan at SOC/IP level and its implementation.
• Verify SoC using advanced verification methodologies.
• Construct HW/SW Co-Verification environment - test-benches, use-cases,
• APIs, sequences. Execute and Debug use-cases.
• Be part of a dynamic and functionally diverse team with opportunities for gaining exposure to modeling (TLM), HW 
emulation/acceleration, and SW driven verification.
• Work with design team to understand design intent and bring up verification plans and schedules.
• You will think through design corner cases and be able to write relevant cover points.
• Debug test cases and report verification result to achieve expected code/functional coverage goal. Utilize constrained 
random verification, functional coverage, code coverage and assertions to achieve goals.
• Assist in emulation, FPGA, prototyping efforts.
• Implement / maintain automated verification flows in languages such as Python, Perl/ Shell scripts.

Required Qualifications:

• BSEE or MSEE, with experience in ASIC development and/or FPGA prototyping
• 7+ years of experience in RTL design using Verilog, SystemVerilog
• Understanding of Digital Signal Processing theory, and mapping to design
• Experience in WiFi Physical Layer, and/or other Physical layer like Cellular (WiMax, LTE, NR), Bluetooth, Zigbee, UWB, and/or other Physical layer (Ethernet) technologies
• Ability to work independently, and proactively identify and resolve issues.
• Experience with Incisive/Excellium/VCS, Verdi, Jasper/Spyglass or equivalent tools
• Experience in partitioning, synthesis, placement, timing closure for FPGA and/or ASICs
• Experience with front-end design and integration tasks including lint, CDC, synthesis, and developing timing ECOs.
• Enjoy debugging, and problem solving in a team environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• • Master’s degree in engineering (or equivalent) or Bachelor’s degree in EE/EC/CS.
  • 10+ years of experience in design verification - Proven experience in full chip verification from test plan development to 
  tape-out sign-off. A good understanding of the complete verification life cycle (test plan, testbench through coverage 
  closure) 
  • Strong knowledge about multiple testbench architectures
  • Experience constructing chip-level System Verilog and UVM test bench environments, writing System Verilog Assertions 
  (SVAs), with embedded software design and test.
  • Track record of successfully executing block or chip-level verification plans.
  • HW/SW Co-Verification experience is a plus - Developing test benches, test cases/use-cases, APIs, their execution and 
  debug on a FPGA/Emulation platform.
  • Expertise in developing RAL using UVM methodology and able to write all the UVM component like monitor, 
  scoreboard, driver, agent etc from the scratch
  • Proficient working knowledge of AXI-lite/AXI-Stream/APB/AHB
  • Excellent debug skills, with experience debugging RTL in block and/or chip-level environments.
  • Proficient knowledge of VHDL, System Verilog, UVM, C and scripting languages like Python, Perl and Tcl.
  • Proficiency with Cadence design tools/environment and cadence UVC's is plus.
  • Excellent communication skills, energetic and self-motivated.
  • Work effectively with an off-site/off-shore design/DV team
