SOC Design Verification Engineer

Job Description

Job Description

We are seeking an experienced SoC Design Verification Engineer with a strong background in UVM-based verification and SystemVerilog to join our dynamic engineering team. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in developing and executing complex verification environments, integrating C / C++ models, and debugging issues at both IP and subsystem levels.

Key Responsibilities :

Develop, implement, and maintain UVM-based verification environments for SoC and IP-level designs.

Write and execute SystemVerilog assertions to validate design functionality and performance.

Integrate C / C++ reference models within verification testbenches and ensure seamless co-simulation.

Perform debugging at IP and subsystem levels , identifying and resolving functional and timing issues.

Collaborate with design, architecture, and validation teams to define verification plans, strategies, and coverage goals.

Review and analyze waveforms, simulation logs, and coverage reports to ensure thorough verification closure.

Participate in regression management, bug tracking, and documentation for design verification deliverables.

Required Qualifications :

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field .

10+ years of hands-on experience in SoC or IP-level design verification .

Strong proficiency in SystemVerilog , UVM methodology , and assertion-based verification (ABV) .

Experience integrating C / C++ models in verification environments.

Proven debugging skills at both IP and subsystem levels using industry-standard EDA tools (e.g., Synopsys VCS, Cadence Xcelium, or Mentor Questa).

Good to Have :

Gate-Level Simulation (GLS) and post-silicon verification exposure.

Experience with Low Power Verification (UPF / CPF) methodologies.

Familiarity with ARM-based SoC architectures and interconnect verification.
