IP and Sub-system Design Verification Engineer

Job Title

IP and Sub-system Design Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Performs functional verification of IP and sub-system logic to ensure designs meet microarchitecture specifications. Develops verification plans, test benches, and verification environments and works with design teams to validate features before silicon.

Experience Level

Senior-level. Experience guidance: typically 6–8+ years of relevant post-qualification experience; see Education Requirements for degree-based expectations.

Responsibilities

The core responsibilities include:

• Develop IP verification plans, testbenches, and verification environments.
• Design and run system simulation models to verify functionality and evaluate power and timing.
• Execute verification plans, run tests, and ensure coverage against specifications.
• Replicate, root-cause, and debug pre-silicon issues; implement corrective measures to resolve failing tests.
• Collaborate with architects, RTL developers, and physical design teams to verify complex architectural and microarchitectural features.
• Document test plans and drive technical reviews of plans and proofs with design and architecture teams.
• Maintain and improve existing functional verification infrastructure and methodology; participate in defining verification TFMs.

Requirements

Must-have qualifications and skills:

• Proven experience in functional verification of IP or sub-system logic.
• Experience developing testbenches and verification environments and executing verification plans.
• Experience with system-level simulation, power and timing analysis, and bug triage in pre-silicon environments.
• Strong debugging and root-cause analysis skills and experience implementing fixes.
• Proven ability to collaborate with architects, RTL developers, and physical design teams.
• Clear technical documentation and communication skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience improving verification infrastructure and defining related TFMs.
• Prior verification work in data center or high-performance compute IPs.

Education Requirements

Posting specifies degree-based experience expectations: B.Tech with 8+ years of experience; M.Tech with 7+ years; Ph.D. with 6+ years. The posting also states these requirements may be met through a combination of industry experience, internships, coursework, or research — equivalent practical experience is acceptable.
