SoC Verification Engineer

Job Title

SoC Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Verify Arm-based IPs, subsystems, and SoCs by developing scalable verification solutions and owning end-to-end verification execution. The role works with architecture, design, firmware, emulation, FPGA, and validation teams to ensure functional correctness and coverage closure for complex SoC designs.

Experience Level

Mid-level; typically 2–5 years of IP, subsystem, or SoC verification experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include planning and executing verification activities across IP, subsystem, and SoC levels.

• Develop and execute verification strategies for IP, subsystem, and SoC designs.
• Verify CPU, PCIe, DDR, security, coherency, memory subsystem, and interconnect functionality.
• Perform power-aware verification and system scenario/performance validation.
• Own verification deliverables from planning through closure, meeting quality and schedule commitments.
• Architect, develop, and maintain reusable verification environments, VIP, methodologies, and automation.
• Create verification plans, test cases, and coverage-closure strategies; drive functional, code, toggle, assertion, and coverage closure.
• Debug RTL, testbench, integration, and system-level issues; collaborate across cross-functional teams.
• Leverage scripting, automation, and AI-assisted workflows to improve verification productivity.
• Contribute to methodology improvements, documentation, and engineering best practices.

Requirements

Must-have:

• 2–5 years of IP, subsystem, or SoC verification experience.
• Strong experience in Verilog, SystemVerilog, UVM, and modern verification methodologies.
• Experience with Arm-based SoC architecture, coherency, interconnects, memory hierarchy, and UPF.
• Proficiency in C/C++ and scripting for test automation; experience with coverage closure and RTL/testbench debug.
• Strong analytical, communication, and collaboration skills.

Nice-to-have:

• Experience with CHI, ACE, AMBA, PCIe, DDR, or security IP.
• Assembly programming experience.
• Experience with formal verification, emulation, FPGA, gate-level simulation, or post-silicon validation.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant engineering discipline (e.g., Electrical, Computer, Electronics Engineering) as stated in the posting.
