Principal Engineer - Memory Circuit Design Verification

Job Title

Principal Engineer - Memory Circuit Design Verification

Role Summary

Lead verification architecture, methodology, and execution for next-generation DRAM/DDR memory circuit designs. Work with memory design and build teams in Hyderabad to ensure verification completeness, silicon readiness, and timely sign-off.

Experience Level

Senior — typically 12+ years of experience in design verification. Experience with DDR/GDDR/DDR memory verification preferred.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Define and drive verification architecture and methodology for next-generation DDR designs.
• Develop verification plans, coverage strategies, and sign-off criteria.
• Architect and implement UVM-based testbenches and reusable verification components.
• Collaborate with build and design teams to ensure verification completeness and product quality.
• Mentor and guide verification engineers on best practices and advanced methodologies.
• Evaluate and integrate AMS co-simulation techniques for mixed-signal IP verification.
• Work with EDA vendors to adopt and validate tools and flows.
• Apply AI/ML and data-driven techniques to improve verification efficiency, regression analysis, and failure classification.
• Contribute to automation initiatives: intelligent test generation, predictive coverage-gap analysis, and AI-driven debug analytics.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and capabilities; preferred items listed separately.

• Expert-level proficiency in SystemVerilog and UVM; strong verification methodology knowledge.
• Hands-on experience with simulation, coverage analysis, and regression management.
• Proven ability to lead verification teams and drive technical direction to closure.
• Strong debugging, problem-solving, and analytical skills.
• Experience with scripting for automation (Python, TCL, Perl).
• Effective cross-team communication and ownership mindset.

• Familiarity with AMS co-simulation and mixed-signal verification flows.
• Exposure to AI/ML concepts (supervised learning, clustering, anomaly detection) and AI-assisted EDA tools or internal AI platforms.
• Experience applying AI for verification optimization, bug prediction, or AI-assisted regression analysis.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
