SoC Verification Engineer (SystemVerilog/UVM)

This role is for one of the Weekday's clients

Min Experience: 4+ years

Location: Bengaluru

JobType: full-time

We are looking for a SoC Verification Engineer with strong expertise in SystemVerilog and UVM to contribute to the functional verification of complex ARM-based System-on-Chip (SoC) designs. In this role, you will develop verification environments, create test scenarios, execute gate-level simulations, and drive verification closure to ensure high-quality silicon.

The ideal candidate should have hands-on experience in SoC verification methodologies, UVM-based testbench development, and debugging complex simulation issues.

Key Responsibilities

SoC Functional Verification

• Develop and execute test cases for SoC-level functional verification.
• Design and enhance SystemVerilog/UVM-based verification environments.
• Verify complex system-level scenarios for ARM-based SoC architectures.
• Ensure functional correctness through comprehensive simulation and verification.

Simulation & Debugging

• Execute Gate-Level Simulations (GLS) to validate post-synthesis and post-layout designs.
• Debug functional failures, timing issues, and low-power simulation results.
• Analyze simulation waveforms and identify root causes of verification failures.
• Collaborate with RTL designers to resolve design and verification issues.

Coverage & Verification Closure

• Drive functional coverage closure using coverage-driven verification methodologies.
• Monitor code coverage, functional coverage, and assertion coverage metrics.
• Develop constrained-random test scenarios to improve verification completeness.
• Support regression execution and verification signoff activities.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with RTL Design, Physical Design, DFT, and Architecture teams throughout the development cycle.
• Participate in verification planning, reviews, and debugging discussions.
• Contribute to reusable verification components and methodology improvements.
• Document verification plans, test cases, and verification results.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong hands-on experience in SystemVerilog and UVM-based verification.
• Experience developing and maintaining UVM testbenches.
• Good understanding of ARM-based SoC architectures and system-level verification scenarios.
• Knowledge of AMBA bus protocols, including APB, AHB, and AXI.
• Experience executing and debugging Gate-Level Simulations (GLS).
• Understanding of low-power verification concepts and low-power simulations.
• Strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and collaboration abilities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Python or Perl scripting for verification automation.
• Familiarity with industry-standard simulation and waveform debugging tools.
• Exposure to assertion-based verification and functional coverage methodologies.
• Knowledge of verification automation frameworks and regression management.
