Experience: 4+ yrs

Location: Hyderabad

Job Type: Full-time

We are looking for an experienced Senior SoC / Full-Chip Design Verification Engineer with strong expertise in Gate-Level Simulation (GLS), SystemVerilog, and UVM. The role will focus on pre-silicon verification of complex SoC and full-chip designs, ensuring functional correctness, design robustness, and readiness for silicon.

The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in GLS, verification environments, regression, debugging, and digital design concepts, with the ability to work on complex verification challenges across the chip development lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform Gate-Level Simulation (GLS) for SoC and full-chip designs.
• Develop and maintain verification environments using SystemVerilog and UVM.
• Execute pre-silicon verification for complex digital designs and SoC architectures.
• Develop, enhance, and maintain testbenches, test scenarios, and verification components.
• Analyze simulation results and debug functional, timing, and design-related issues.
• Run and maintain regression suites to identify failures and verification gaps.
• Collaborate with RTL designers, architects, and verification teams to resolve design issues.
• Verify complex digital circuits and ensure design functionality against specifications.
• Develop verification plans, test strategies, and coverage-driven verification methodologies.
• Analyze simulation logs, waveforms, and failure patterns to identify root causes.
• Contribute to verification automation and improve regression efficiency.
• Support verification sign-off activities and ensure adequate functional and code coverage.
• Apply assertions/SVA and other verification techniques where applicable.
• Support verification of memory controllers, DRAM interfaces, or other complex subsystems when required.
• Contribute to low-power verification and other advanced verification methodologies as applicable.
• Work with industry-standard simulation, debugging, and verification tools.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 4+ years of experience in ASIC, SoC, or semiconductor design verification.
• Hands-on Gate-Level Simulation (GLS) experience is mandatory and a deal-breaker.
• Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog (SV), UVM, and Verilog.
• Proven experience in SoC / full-chip pre-silicon verification.
• Strong understanding of digital circuits and RTL-based design concepts.
• Experience developing and maintaining verification environments and testbenches.
• Strong debugging skills across simulation failures, waveforms, logs, and regressions.
• Experience with regression management and verification coverage analysis.
• Good understanding of verification methodologies and pre-silicon validation processes.
• Experience with Assertions / SVA is an advantage.
• Knowledge of DRAM or memory controller verification is a plus.
• Understanding of CMOS concepts and digital/analog circuits is desirable.
• Exposure to low-power verification methodologies is an advantage.
• Scripting and automation skills using languages such as Python, Perl, or Tcl are a plus.
• Experience working with industry-standard simulation and verification tools.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
