Lead Verification Engineer

Job Title

Lead Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Lead technical customer-facing verification initiatives for Siemens Scalable Verification products. Serve as a senior subject-matter expert who drives methodology adoption, translates complex customer requirements into functional specifications, and collaborates with R&D and field teams to ensure successful product deployment.

Work closely with customers on high‑visibility projects, provide advanced technical enablement and training, and mentor junior engineers to improve verification practices and product value.

Experience Level

Senior — requires substantial industry experience (senior/lead level). The role specifies long‑tenured experience expectations (see Requirements).

Responsibilities

Key responsibilities include:

• Lead development and delivery of advanced technical training and high‑quality verification content for internal teams and customers.
• Analyze and translate customer technical requirements into detailed functional specifications for R&D.
• Advise field teams and customers on verification methodology selection and tool usage to ensure successful project outcomes.
• Plan and execute tool evaluation, benchmarking, and competitive replacement initiatives.
• Provide hands‑on technical support during critical implementation phases, including debugging and performance optimization.
• Mentor junior engineers and promote knowledge sharing and standard processes across teams.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills, experience, and attributes:

• Minimum 12+ years in the semiconductor or EDA industry; 8+ years specifically in Functional Verification.
• Expert proficiency in hardware description languages: VHDL, Verilog, and SystemVerilog.
• Advanced, practical experience with UVM and building scalable, reusable verification environments.
• Hands-on experience with verification techniques: directed tests, constraint-random verification and coverage closure, formal assertions/property checking, and coverage-driven verification.
• Experience across RTL verification, gate‑level simulation/timing verification, and advanced SoC debugging techniques.
• Practical low‑power verification experience (UPF/CPF and power‑aware flows).
• Proven experience with industry EDA tools (examples: Questa, VCS, NCSim, IUS, Verdi) and the ability to diagnose and optimize tool flows.

Nice-to-have:

• Protocol experience (PCIe, USB, Ethernet, AMBA, DDR, MIPI).
• Scripting for automation and analysis (Python, Perl, Tcl).
• Exposure to hardware emulation or FPGA prototyping and formal verification tools.

Education Requirements

Required: Master's (M.Tech/M.S) or Bachelor's (BE/B.Tech) in Electronics & Communication, Electrical Engineering, or Telecom Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
