SOV Verification Engineer

Job Title

SOV Verification Engineer

Role Summary

Work on IP, subsystem and SoC verification for Arm-based SoCs. The role owns verification strategy, development of reusable SystemVerilog/UVM test environments, and driving coverage closure across CPU, interconnect, memory and power domains.

Experience Level

Mid-level - 2–12 years of relevant verification experience.

Responsibilities

Deliver verification solutions from planning through coverage closure and debug.

• Develop and execute verification strategies for IP, subsystem and SoC designs.
• Architect, implement and maintain reusable SystemVerilog/UVM verification environments and components.
• Verify CPU, PCIe, security, DDR, cache coherency and CHI interconnects, and perform SoC scenario and performance verification.
• Create verification plans, tests, and coverage-closure strategies covering functional, code, toggle and assertion metrics.
• Develop embedded tests in C/C++ and ARM assembly; perform RTL, testbench and silicon debug.
• Perform power-aware verification using UPF and validate complex power architectures.
• Collaborate with Architecture, Design, Modeling, Performance, Validation, FPGA and Software teams.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and hands-on experience.

• 2–12 years of IP, subsystem or SoC verification experience.
• Strong Verilog/SystemVerilog skills and proven experience building SV/UVM verification environments.
• Knowledge of SoC integration, memory hierarchy, coherency protocols, interconnects and interrupt architecture.
• Experience writing embedded tests in C/C++ and ARM assembly.
• Experience with power-aware verification (UPF) and coverage-closure practices (functional, code, toggle, assertion).
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across RTL, testbench and silicon issues.
• Automation and scripting experience (Python, Perl, Tcl, Shell).
• Exposure to full verification lifecycle: requirements analysis, planning, testbench and test development, coverage closure and documentation.
• Nice-to-have: formal verification, FPGA prototyping, performance verification, deep CHI/cache-coherency expertise.

Education Requirements

Not specified.
