Lead Engineer - Design Verification (Low power UPF/CPF)

Job Title

Lead Engineer - Design Verification (Low power UPF/CPF)

Role Summary

Lead low-power design verification for complex SoCs, validating power intent and low-power features using UPF/CPF methodologies. Work within the Design Verification team and collaborate with RTL, architecture, and physical design teams to ensure robust, power-efficient silicon.

Experience Level

Senior — typically 6–8 years of design verification experience.

Responsibilities

Own end-to-end low-power verification activities across the design lifecycle and drive coverage closure.

• Verify power domains and power intent using UPF/CPF methodologies.
• Develop and execute test plans for low-power modes and states.
• Design, build, and maintain SystemVerilog/UVM testbenches and verification environments.
• Create and validate testcases and assertions; perform RTL/UPF debugging.
• Drive functional and assertion coverage closure.
• Perform power-aware verification and debug complex issues across teams.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate advanced verification methodologies.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills:

• Strong SystemVerilog and UVM expertise.
• Experience with assertion-based and coverage-driven verification.
• Practical experience with UPF/CPF-based verification and power-aware validation.
• Understanding of low-power SoC constructs: clock gating, isolation, level shifters, retention.
• Proven debugging and problem-solving skills for RTL and power-intent issues.
• Experience developing testbenches, testcases, and assertions end-to-end.

Nice-to-have:

• Familiarity with formal/static verification and Synopsys NLP tools.
• Knowledge of GLS / PA-GLS.
• Scripting skills (Python, Perl) and ASIC tool/flow experience.
• Experience with AI-powered productivity or analysis tools.

Education Requirements

BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field (explicitly listed in the posting as BS/MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering or related field).
