Verification Engineer, PCIe

Job Title

Verification Engineer, PCIe

Role Summary

Verify the design and implementation of PCIe controllers for GPUs and SoCs at IP and sub-system levels. Work on functional verification, develop reusable verification components, and validate correctness against specifications.

Member of a cross-functional verification team collaborating with architects, designers, and pre-/post-silicon teams to deliver reliable IP and subsystem implementations.

Experience Level

Entry-level (1+ years relevant experience)

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include:

• Plan and execute verification of ASIC design, architecture, golden models and micro-architecture of PCIe controllers at IP and sub-system levels.
• Develop reusable bus functional models, monitors, checkers and scoreboards following coverage-driven verification methodology.
• Define verification scope, develop test plans and tests, and build verification infrastructure.
• Create and maintain functional coverage models and constrained-random verification environments.
• Collaborate with architects, RTL designers, and pre-/post-silicon teams to resolve issues and close verification gaps.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience:

• 1+ years of relevant verification experience at Unit/Sub-system/SoC level.
• Proficiency in Verilog and SystemVerilog.
• Experience verifying IP or interconnect protocols (examples: PCIe, USB, SATA).
• Experience developing functional coverage based, constrained-random verification environments.
• Familiarity with DV methodologies such as UVM or VMM and industry-standard simulation/debug tools.

Nice-to-have:

• Strong knowledge of PCIe protocol (Gen3 and above) and system-level PCIe/CXL architecture.
• Scripting or software experience (Perl, Python or similar) for automation and testbench tooling.
• Good debugging, analytical, and interpersonal skills.

Education Requirements

B.Tech. or M.Tech. (or equivalent practical experience). The posting lists a B.Tech./M.Tech. degree or equivalent experience; specific fields of study are not specified.
