Senior Design Verification Engineer

Job Title

Senior Design Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Lead the architecture and implementation of a scratch-built SoC-level verification environment for Quadric's GPNPU-based SoCs. Work closely with architects, hardware designers, and software teams to define verification strategy, build testbenches, and validate HW/SW integration before tapeout.

This is an on-site engineering role based in Pune, India, focused on SoC verification at scale.

Experience Level

Senior — minimum 5+ years of dedicated design verification experience on complex SoC/ASIC designs.

Responsibilities

Design and execute SoC-level verification efforts, own verification infrastructure, and communicate progress using coverage metrics.

• Architect and implement SoC-level UVM testbenches from scratch.
• Develop comprehensive verification test plans in collaboration with architects, HW designers, and SW teams.
• Implement scalable testbenches using commercial VIP and internal utilities.
• Create directed and randomized drivers and develop assembly/C++ programs to stress subsystems and integration.
• Verify complex SoC subsystems and third-party IP (examples: NoC, PCIe/UCIe, DDR).
• Use VCS and Verilog/C co-simulation together with scripting (Python) to run and automate test suites.
• Track, analyze, and report verification progress using functional and code coverage metrics; drive closure to target coverage.
• Establish co-simulation pipelines that validate HW/SW execution prior to tapeout.

Requirements

Must-have skills and experience:

• 5+ years of dedicated design verification experience on complex SoC/ASIC designs.
• Deep expertise in UVM methodology and SoC-level verification practices.
• Proficiency in SystemVerilog or Verilog; experience with assembly programming and Python scripting.
• Hands-on experience verifying SoC subsystems and third-party IP (NoC, PCIe/UCIe, DDR).
• Strong computer architecture background and experience with VCS and Verilog/C co-simulation.
• Proven ability to architect testbenches and lead cross-functional verification efforts.

Education Requirements

Not specified.
