Verification & Validation Engineer, Hardware Design

Digital Verification Engineer

Experience: 6+ years

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute verification plans based on design and architecture specifications.
• Build SystemVerilog/UVM-based testbenches and reusable verification components.
• Create directed and constrained-random test cases for functional and corner-case verification.
• Debug simulation failures using industry-standard tools and collaborate with RTL designers to resolve issues.
• Define, measure, and close functional and code coverage gaps.
• Implement System Verilog Assertions (SVA) for protocol and behavioral checking.
• Run and monitor regression suites; triage failing tests and track issues.
• Participate in specification reviews, design reviews, and verification progress meetings.
• Maintain clear documentation for testbench architecture, test scenarios, and verification results.
• Automate verification workflows using scripting languages such as Python, Perl, Shell, or Tcl.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field.
• Strong understanding of digital logic, RTL design, FSMs, pipelines, and bus architectures.
• Hands-on experience with SystemVerilog and UVM methodology.
• 6+ years of experience in digital verification with a focus on mixed-signal circuits and systems
• Proficiency with verification simulators (e.G., VCS, Questa, Xcelium).
• Experience using debug tools such as Verdi, SimVision, or DVE.
• Familiarity with version control and regression systems (Git, Jenkins, etc.).
• Solid understanding of coverage-driven verification techniques.
• Experience verifying standard interfaces (AXI, AHB, DDR, PCIe, etc.).
• Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of formal verification methodologies and tools (e.G., JasperGold, VC Formal).
• Internal
• Strong scripting experience for automation (Python, Perl, Shell, Tcl).
• Experience with SoC-level verification, emulation, or FPGA prototyping.
• Exposure to low-power/UPF verification flows.

Personal Attributes

• Strong communication and teamwork abilities.
• Self-driven, with the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.
• Detail-oriented and committed to delivering high-quality results.
