Job Description: 

Role Overview
We are seeking a skilled Verification/Validation Engineer with expertise in developing testbenches for pre-silicon verification. The role involves building scalable verification environments, creating stimulus, monitoring functionality, and ensuring coverage closure using industry-standard methodologies.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop System Verilog/UVM-based testbenches for IP, subsystem, or SoC-level verification.

• Create and maintain verification plans, test cases, and coverage models.

• Implement and integrate scoreboards, monitors, checkers, assertions, and transactors for functional correctness.

• Work with Verification IP (VIP) for industry-standard protocols (AMBA, UCIe, PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, etc.) and integrate them into testbenches.

• Build reusable constrained-random and directed test scenarios.

• Debug failures, perform root cause analysis, and work closely with design and architecture teams.

• Analyze functional coverage, code coverage, and assertion coverage to ensure verification completeness.

• Participate in design/verification reviews and contribute to methodology improvements.

• Automate regression runs and maintain CI verification flows (Jenkins, Git, etc. if applicable).

Qualifications:

Required Skills & Qualifications

Bachelor’s/Master’s in Electrical/Electronics/Computer Engineering or related field with 5+ Years of Experience is required.

• Strong hands-on experience with System Verilog and UVM methodology.

• Proven experience in transactor modelling and VIP integration/customization.

• Good understanding of digital design fundamentals (RTL, FSMs, buses, etc.).

• Familiarity with coverage-driven verification and constraint random test generation.

• Proficiency with industry-standard simulators and/or emulators (Synopsys VCS/Zebu, Cadence Xcelium/Palladium, Mentor Questa/Veloce, etc.).

• Debugging skills using waveforms and verification tools.

• Exposure to SVA (System Verilog Assertions) and functional coverage techniques.

Must Have

• Experience with C/C++/Python for testbench integration or automation.

• Hands-on work with protocol VIPs (AXI, AHB, APB, CXL,UCIe, PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, USB, etc.).

• Strong communication and teamwork skills.

• Experience in applying AI tools for verification/validation is a plus
